DESIGNERS OF FINE FRAMING SINCE 1957
The Huntington Historical Society’s Soldiers and Sailors Memorial building was built as the town library in 1892. After the library moved to its current location at the other end of Main Street in 1958, the building, still owned by the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Association, was used by the Huntington school district. From 1969 on it became home to the Town Historian. In 2000, the Association donated the building to the Huntington Historical Society. The Society undertook an ambitious eight year restoration project and re-opened it as a museum in 2008.

John Cino is a sculptor, art educator, and curator.
"My new work reprising processes from three decades ago is a reversal of the carving and sanding techniques. My pieces are constructed and after the form is created many layers of paint, saw dust, and other textural materials are applied to create an encrusted surface. The tendency towards working in slow processes gives my mind free rein to contemplate the world on macro and micro scales. Throughout the decades of varied processes, I have maintained a continuous theme through the interface between organic and geometric."
- John Cino
Sherry Davis hails from the American Rust Belt, where she grew up surrounded by the husks of abandoned and deteriorating factories. Despite coming from a family of Toledo-area factory workers, Davis was just a generation away from farm life. That connection to (and perhaps pining for) farm life is one of the inspirations of her current work.
Before settling on the North Fork of Long Island, Davis earned her BFA from Kent State University in Ohio, her master’s degree at Brooklyn College, and attended the Art Students League of New York. She has studied with many artists, including Sheila Hicks, Barbara Eckhardt, Arline Fisch, Nance O’Banion, Lia Cook, and Janice Lessman-Moss.
Dating back to her earliest work in the eighties, Davis has always mined the abundant waste America produces. This upcycling (before the word existed) was driven by both economic necessity and the farmer ethos of thriftiness. In the work presented here, her use of these materials is taken to new extremes.
The focus of this exhibit centers on Harvesting Memories in Blue, a public sculpture on long-term display in a North Fork farm field. The work honors the farmers of the North Fork (and elsewhere), celebrating their enduring spirit, work ethic, and contribution to humanity. But the exhibit goes beyond Harvesting Memories in Blue, showcasing more of Davis’ recent work and pulling back the curtain on her artistic process.
In nearly all of the work presented here, Davis collaborated with a large community of people who helped realize and shape the artwork. She dedicates this exhibit to them.
Now celebrating its 60th year, the Huntington Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which enriches the quality of life of Long Islanders with programs and services that address the needs and interests of artists, cultural organizations and the community.
Kelly Franké is a Long Island based fine artist, known for her signature charcoal drawings on birch wood. One windy afternoon, Kelly was drawing outside when the wind kept getting under her paper, which was loosely clamped to a wooden drawing board. Frustrated, she crumpled up the paper and started sketching directly onto the wood. Surprised by the result, she decided to pursue wood as a canvas, curious to see how far she could take the integration of natural grains and drawn lines. With each piece, Kelly carefully selects a grain that will best complement her subject matter.
This exhibition is the first to recognize Emma Stebbins (1815-1882) as one of the most significant American sculptors of the nineteenth century. While her Bethesda Fountain in Central Park has been a global icon for 150 years, the full scope of Stebbins’ s life and work is virtually unknown. From 1857 to 1870, she created innovative sculptures while living in Rome with her wife, renowned Shakespearean actress Charlotte Cushman, who championed her career. In 1863, with the other for the Bethesda Fountain, she became the first women to earn a commission for a public sculpture from the city of New York.

We will be showcasing the artwork of John Cino and Kelly Franke during this year's Artwalk!
“Pottery, Paintings & Poetry - Made in Huntington” is the title of the current exhibit on display at the Huntington Historical Society’s History and Decorative Arts Museum in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building at 228 Main Street, Huntington.
“The Best of the Best” exhibit is a sampling of exceptional pieces of 18th and 19th century Huntington pottery from the Society’s collection, as well as rarely seen pieces, on loan from six local collections. A rare “cow stencil” jar (1870-1880) as well as a beer pitcher from the early 19th century Timothy Platt Carl Tavern (1827-1829) are among those on exhibit.
Also on display is a collection of paintings by mid-20th century Huntington residents. A number of these artists displayed their works in local Main Street store fronts in 1947 at what was called Huntington’s “Businesses and Industries Exposition.” These include professional as well as amateur artists.
Finally, there is a collection of seven early 19th century samplers, made in the Huntington schools. These samplers have recently been added to the Society’s large collection of this form of “school girl art.” The works of young female students from the Fleet, Jarvis, Sammis and Skidmore families are on display for the first time.Type your paragraph here.
