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.
The Heckscher Museum of Art creates opportunities for everyone to experience art that broadens our understanding of the past, fosters community connections to our present, and creates diverse possibilities for our future.

Title: Heart and Soul by Melanie Berardicelli
Dates: September 8th - October 18th, 2026
Melanie's Statement: "How do you move on from the loss of a loved one? Devastated after the untimely passing of my older brother in 2020, I searched for answers to my questioning faith and comfort for my never-ending grief, and by fate stumbled upon Paul Koudounaris’s Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs. I was enthralled by the glittering Roman Martyr Catacomb Saints of the German-speaking countries; there lay the promise of heaven and an answer to honoring the dead, and I admired the nuns who clothed and bejeweled the skeletal remains of martyrs from 100 AD. Combining my love of anatomy and sculpture with the ornate, I hand-tailor, embroider, and bead costumes to adorn resin-cast skeletal écorchés, recreating twenty-four-inch saints. Through painting and embroidery, I reimagine these saints in life, restoring identity and re-christening them after heroic people I have known."

Wendy's encaustic monotypes explore the tension between control and spontaneity, using encaustic wax and oil pigment. She is drawn to encaustic because of its physical presence—the smell and the translucency of the wax, its luminous surface, and the way each layer holds traces of what came before. These pieces reflect her love of our natural surroundings and the photographs taken during many hikes.
"Through encaustic monotype, I seek to create quiet, intuitive pieces that invite contemplation." Each work is one of a kind and impossible to duplicate.

Using both traditional photography and creative digital techniques, he transforms real moments into expressive works that reflect not only what he saw but also what he felt.

Glass Jewelry by Julianna Kirk
Julianna has been creating art all her life. She worked as an art teacher and artist throughout her adult career and since retirement has embraced her art making on an active gallery level.
She was educated in art throughout her undergraduate and post-graduate years and has developed a love for glass. It has become her primary medium. Her explorations with glass led to several offshoots. She has art pieces that are often seen in juried and invitational exhibits, pieces she designs for retail boutiques, and a line of fine jewelry pendants that are both uniquely attractive and affordable.
Original paintings and lithographs by Alyssa Denis
Alyssa Denis, also known as Mermammal, is a fantasy illustrator that lives and works in Huntington, New York. She has worked for New York times and Internationally best selling sci-fi, fantasy, and romance authors illustrating their book covers and creating character designs. She enjoys working in a variety of different mediums such as digital art, printmaking, and painting.
The goal of Alyssa's artwork is to transport the viewer into a fantasy world of her own creation and introduce them to some of her own original fantasy characters. Fantasy is an entire genre of imaginative fiction involving magic and adventure, especially in a setting other than the real world. The creative freedom of fantasy is endless and her characters can be anything she dreams them to be.
