Visitors Tour Museum’s WoodsWith naturalist Rich Kelly and Museum

Senior Educator Jean Henning as

guides, a large group hiked along the

Museum’s ravine and pinetum trail,

looking along the way for early spring

wildflowers. Like many of the Museum’s

most successful public and school

programs, A Walk in the Woods was a

collaborative activity, organized and

offered with the North Shore Land

Alliance.

Grasslands RestorationThrough a matching grant from The

Barker Welfare Foundation, we retained

Andrew Gladysz of LI’s Gladysz Farms to

mow more than eight acres of fields that

were overgrown with invasive porcelain

berry plants. As a result, parts of the

property that had been impossible to

walk through are now accessible. By

continuing restoration projects like this,

we hope to restore our nature preserve

and wildlife habitat.

SECOND FLOOR GALLERIES

June 29 through October 13, 2013

The Museum’s Second Floor Galleries feature work by five contemporary artists:

Nina Chanel Abney, Justin Craun, Wendell Gladstone, Erik Parker, and Tom Sanford.

Each artist will be shown in a focused installation.

The exhibition is organized for the Museum’s Contemporary Collectors Circle by CCC

co-chairs Elaine Berger and Alison Wolfson.

The five artists in the show, aged 31 to 44, represent a movement of young artists

involved in the use of very strong color. They share an interest in combining figurative

and abstract elements in new and innovative ways. The famed art collector Hubert

Neumann called it “an asymmetric aesthetic for a fractured asymmetric world."

Peter MaxOctober 26, 2013 through February 23, 2014

This exhibition takes the first in-depth

look at the original drawings of Pop artist

Peter Max, juxtaposing portfolios of his

mostly black-and-white drawings on

paper against many of the artist’s larger

and more color-saturated works in a

variety of media. Covering a wide range

of subjects, these never-before-seen

drawings result in one of the most

recognizable and commercially

successful artistic practices of our times.

The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby may just have been one of the best parties on Long Island since the days of Jay Gatsby himself. Guests got

into the spirit of the fabled Jazz Age with flapper dresses, headbands, feathers, and mountains of sparkling jewelry. The lavish

tented pavilions for the cocktail hour and dinner similarly evoked the extravagant décor of Long Island’s Gold Coast history. The

Museum Ball is the museum’s major annual fundraising affair, raising significant support for exhibitions and educational

programming. The 2013 Ball was chaired by Museum Board Member Angela Susan Anton, the publisher and owner of Anton

Community Publications. The Journal Committee was chaired by M. Patricia Janco-Tupper, senior vice president, wealth advisor

for Wells Fargo Bank; and Rebecca Creavin, senior vice president, private banker for Wells Fargo Bank. Congratulations to our

chairs and committee members for a very successful and beautiful event.

Members of the Ball Committee: Kimberly Bancroft, Irina Sushko, Connie Carr, Thalia Elie, Angela Susan Anton, Natalia Good, Esther Ambalu, Sara Ambalu, Gayle Finkelman-Cohen, Karen Loeffler, Eve Califano, Judie Chessin, Kandice Seitz, Linda Ugenti. (photo by Tab Hauser)

EDUCATION

Celebrate Earth DayThe Museum’s Earth Day celebration attracted more

than 200 children and adults to a day of activities in

the galleries and on the grounds including

construction of a large-scale sculpture. Paint was

thrown, dripped and rolled in the creation of abstract

art works. The Science Museum of Long Island was on

hand with a delightful group of critters including a prickly hedgehog, a most

colorful snake and a tortoise boasting a gorgeously-detailed shell.

Life in a Gold Coast MansionIn one of our more unusual family programs, the

Museum’s historic mansion revisited its Gold Coast past,

a time when it was the home of Childs and Frances

Frick and their children. Sally Hirschwerk charmingly

portrayed Martha Frick, reading a letter that Martha

wrote to her grandmother in which she shared news of

the estate’s impressive menagerie, including even an

alligator. The day also featured a fun scavenger hunt

throughout the galleries, doll making with artist Pamela Koehler and time to play

some games popular during the Gold Coast’s 1920s era.

Glen Cove Teachers Visit MuseumTeachers from Glen Cove’s Deasy Elementary School

recently toured the Museum as part of a professional

development day, sponsored by the New York State

Council on the Arts, that focused on ways to integrate

the Museum’s exhibitions and resources with classroom

learning. The teachers used Niki de Saint Phalle’s SnakeTree sculpture to explore line, shape, color and patterns.

Glen Cove Children Tour Museum Participants in the Glen Cove Boys and Girls Club, the Glen Cove Youth Bureau, and

the After 3 Program, visited the museum with Victoria Crosby and Irina Sushko of

the Glen Cove Arts Council and enjoyed a private gallery tour followed by a hands-

on art activity creating art works inspired by the Museum’s exhibition of abstract

expressionist art. The Glen Cove Arts Council introduces youth to the arts through

scholarships and visits to museums, theater, ballet and opera.

As portrayed by Sally Hirschwerk,Martha Frick writes to hergrandmother.

Autism & the ArtsGavin puts the finishing touches on his abstract art collage. He is a

participant in Autism & the Arts, a program in which art therapists

use the visual arts to spark communication. Autism & the Arts is

funded in part by the North Shore Autism Circle.
