The Manhasset Art Association is celebrating its 75th Anniversary!
The Art Exhibit starts from Oct., 1 to Nov. 10 at the Great Neck Main Library Gallery at 159 Bayview Ave. in Great Neck.
Stop by the Library to see their wonderful works and join us for an art reception on October 15 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Works shown in the exhibit will be judged at the reception and prizes will be awarded.
In 1948, a small group of Manhasset artists were invited to meet at the home of Helen Jennings, who had a dream of organizing a workshop where artists could work together to develop their talents, exchange ideas, and foster a greater appreciation and advancement of the arts in the community. In 1949, a constitution was adopted, and Helen was elected president.
Today the MAA still offers workshops with a live model and 2-3 major art exhibits each year in local libraries and galleries. It is the spirit of cooperation that makes them successful and has brought them to their 75th anniversary.
