The Museum’s 2024 Celebrate Achievement Benefit was a roaring success. The event honored Kasmira Mohanty, Artist and Art Teacher, Artist Han Qin, and Huntington Town Historian Robert Hughes, for their unique contributions to the arts and support of The Heckscher Museum. Pictured above, benefit honorees with Heather Arnet, CEO and Executive Director.
The event Co-Chairs did a wonderful job in bringing this benefit to life. Pictured below, left to right: Poranee Chen, Katie Morin, Susan Van Scoy, Richard Cunniff, Jr., Elizabeth Halpern, Caroline DeDora, and Jill Seiman-Mayer. (Missing from the photo:Â Jessica

It was a beautiful day so guests were able to enjoy the outdoor patio at the picturesque Water’s Edge, Centerport, NY. The day included a silent auction of photographs from artist Neil Scholl. Robert Ingrasin photographed guests against a New York City backdrop by photographer Berenice Abbott. Abbott was the inspiration for the Benefit theme. Music at the event was provided by the Julliard Jazz Duo.
Thank you to all the sponsors and donors for their generosity in ensuring that the Museum continues its mission of bringing art and inspiration to the community.
