Superintendent's Day Conference 2024
 
ANNUAL SUPERINTENDENT’S DAY CONFERENCE
at The Heckscher Museum & Huntington Fine Arts
Tuesday, November 5, 2024
9 am – 3 pm
K-12 teachers are invited to join us for this full day art conference at the Museum and Huntington Fine Arts in Greenlawn!
In the Museum, tour the exhibition The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024. Explore exhibit-related themes and view work by 60 contemporary Long Island artists. Gain insight through inspiring presentations and hands-on artmaking sessions with exhibiting artists Edward Acosta and Joan Kim Suzuki.
Edward Acosta’s style and technique are recognizable for his perfectionist approach to line work and masterful use of color. Acosta works with an array of techniques and styles that incorporates Pop Art, Street Art, Graffiti and Abstract Expressionism. Joan Kim Suzuki uses her artwork to express her respect for Asian cultures. Her paintings are inspired by her upbringing, the stories her grandmother told her, and the pride of being Asian-American instilled in her by her parents.
At Huntington Fine Arts, The Body Politic exhibiting artist Manuel Alejandro Macarrulla will discuss his work and inspire unique hands-on activities for all grade levels. Participants will also enjoy live model figure drawing and a multitude of interesting still-life set-ups to nurture their creative spirit!
