There is never a down time for the arts! The
upcoming months have a whirlwind of cultural
activities, both at Huntington Arts Council and
throughout Huntington.
Our Grants for the Arts program panel
deliberations are continuing, and the awards
will be announced shortly. HAC was excited
by the response this year, showing a 40%
increase in applications! I think this proves the
richness and breadth of the arts on Long Island.
Our Arts in Education Journey Program now
has a Greek Chest available for our Journey
partner school districts to incorporate into their
curricula. Once again, HAC will offer Get
With the Program(s), a series of professional
and technical development workshops to assist
artists and arts organizations [See page 5].
The exhibits in our Main Street Gallery
feature several different shows beginning with
our juried photography show The Human
Condition. Other shows include a Celebration
of Women’s History Month featuring works
by four women artists with strong points
of view, our annual High Arts Showcase
featuring the best of our JOURNEY Program
partner schools, Into the Deep, a collaboration
with The Whaling Museum and Education
Center of Cold Spring Harbor, and our annual
Members Show [See Page 9]
Of course, plans are already under way for
the 2017 Huntington Summer Arts Festival.
Our next issue will showcase the Festival. In
the meantime, the Huntington Tulip Festival
will take place with family performances on
the Chapin Rainbow Stage, art exhibitions,
lectures, demonstrations and much more.
I encourage everyone to participate in
the arts however you choose to do so. Look
through the calendar of cultural events and
find something to enjoy. See some of the
marvelous performances; visit a museum or
gallery; create something! The arts enrich our
lives. Please let them enrich yours.

Thank You!
Our 2016 Auction On Main – Annual
Art Auction Fundraiser was a huge success.
This year with over 50 pieces of artwork by as
many artists, the support of local businesses,
and friends of the Huntington Arts Council we
exceeded our financial fundraising goal. Taking
place over a three week period in November
and December, the event opened and closed
with a gallery reception attended by artists and
friends alike. It is due in part to everyone’s
ongoing support of this fundraiser that we are
able to bring the Exhibition Program to the
community. Thank you!

Letter From The Supervisor
Dear Friends:
Huntington’s
distinction as the
birthplace of Walt
Whitman – frequently
acknowledged
as
one of our country’s
greatest poets – is
just one aspect of
Supervisor Frank P. Petrone
our
community’s
distinguished literary heritage.
This
heritage spans from being the home of
Jupiter Hammon, who in 1761 became the
nation’s first published African-American
poet, to fostering contemporary poets such
as Northport resident George Wallace,
named in 2003 as the first Poet Laureate of
Suffolk County.
As April is National Poetry Month
it is fitting that we celebrate this
distinguished heritage by recognizing
some of Huntington’s newest poets. From
7-9 p.m. on April 26th Walt Whitman’s
Birthplace will host in cooperation with
the Town of Huntington a special event in
honor of teen poets from our community.
This award ceremony and poetry reading
will recognize those teens whose poems
have been selected this year for public
display in the Town’s “Poetry for the
HART” Public Art Initiative, a program
developed in cooperation with Teenspeak
and other youth and arts agencies within the
community. These teen poets will have the
opportunity to share their winning poems
at a reading led by an adult poet mentor.
Afterward, these winning poems printed
on colorful placards will join those of
previous years in gracing the interior of buses
in the Town’s HART system. While these
youthful words of humor, reflection, and
sometimes profound insight are enjoyed by
more than 260,000 riders annually, they can
also be found online on the Town’s website
at www.HuntingtonNY.gov/HARTpoetry.
Please join us for this special event in
celebration of our community’s literary
heritage, which remains a living art form
created by our friends and neighbors that
still enriches our lives today.
Sincerely yours,
Frank P. Petrone Supervisor
Town of Huntington

GREEK Culture added to the JOURNEY Program!
2017 Long Island Grants
The Arts in Education JOURNEY
Program remains relevant, fresh and
unique amongst in-school arts programs.
The Huntington Arts Council is proud to
announce a long awaited addition of Greece
to our JOURNEY Discovery Chest loan
program.
The Huntington Arts Council is pleased
to announce that the 2017 Long Island
Arts Grants has had its best year as far as
our records go back. With 313 interested
applicants attending the mandatory grant
workshops, and 117 applications submitted
from Nassau and Suffolk County non-profit
organizations, individual and teaching
artists. The Arts Council is also delighted to
see a predominant increase in applications
from Nassau County to the Decentralization
regranting program.
The Greek cultural artifact chest is
the vision, hard work and dedication of
Northport-East Northport teacher Fran
Bertos and JOURNEY coordinator Peggy
Low (pictured above). Fran had envisioned
the addition of the Greek chest to the
existing Discovery chest inventory over 5
years ago. Currently, the Discovery Chest
program offers chests of cultural artifacts
in the following cultures: Africa, Ancient
Egypt, China, India, Latin America and
Native America.
Fran’s passion, knowledge and first hand
understanding of classroom teacher’s needs
has led to the completion of this community
supported project. Fran researched artifacts
and traveled to Greece to fill the chests with
treasures for students and teachers. In each
of the two Greek chests available are
clothing, examples of ancient Greek culture,
Greek national products, and samples of art,
musical instruments, texts and an extensively
researched manual. The manual includes
artifact descriptions and lesson plans for
classrooms K-12 grades.
School districts that participate in our
JOURNEY program can have unlimited
access to the Greek chest at the beginning
of 2017. This chest aligns with current units
in New York state social studies curriculum,
comes with a teacher’s manual (written by
Fran Bertos) and has cultural artifacts in
each chest. There are 2 Greek chests and
as with the other chests in our inventory
teachers and administrators can call the Arts
in Education coordinator to reserve free use
of the chest for two weeks.

2017 Huntington
Summer Arts Festival
Opens June 27, 2017
The weather outside may be frightful, but
Performing Arts Director John Chicherio is
working hard on creating another exciting
and “delightful” roster of artists for the 2017
Huntington Summer Arts Festival. “I think
of it as weaving a wonderful tapestry of
music, dance and entertainment,” says Mr.
Chicherio. “We can’t disclose artists until
we have signed contracts, but there will be
lots of great music, theatre and dance as
always. You can count on an eclectic mix
of superbly talented headliners & emerging
artists from across the U.S. and around
the world, including a number of Grammy
winners!”
The festival has been a Huntington
cultural highlight each summer for more
than 50 years. It is the region’s most
extensive and varied summer festival and
has helped earn Huntington’s reputation
as the cultural capital of L.I. The 2017
This Fall Huntington Arts Council
expanded its reach and ability to serve
the arts community. Three workshops
were added in towns that had not yet been
visited by the Decentralization program
bringing the total up to nine. These three
new locations included Port Washington at
the Port Washington Library, Smithtown
at the Smithtown Library (Main Building)
and Hempstead at the African American
Museum of Nassau County.
Huntington Arts Council also saw a break
down in barriers for teaching artists, as a
new strand in the Creative Learning granting
opportunity allowed for artists to now visit
after school programs and communitybased centers to work with students of all
ages.
As the funds are being determined by
our panels over the next couple of months,
the Council is excited by this year’s crop of
applications that will be sure to culturally
enrich our greater Long Island community.
Notifications to the recipients will be made
by March and we will celebrate with a
reception at a later date.
Grant opportunities are available annually
for both arts and cultural organizations and
individual artists residing in Nassau and
Suffolk Counties. Grants range from $500$5,000 dollars. The funds are made possible
by the New York State Council on the Arts
(NYSCA) Decentralization Program. To find
out further information about this program,
refer to our website www.huntingtonarts.org
under the Grants for the Arts section.
edition will open on Tuesday, June 27 and
continue six nights a week to August 13. All

Heckscher Park. In addition to a superlative
roster of touring artists and ensembles, we
present all your favorite local and regional
ensembles like the Huntington Community
Band, the Northport Community Band, the
L.I. Dance Consortium, Plaza Productions
and the Broadhollow Theatre.
“We are especially pleased to bring
back David Stewart Wiley and the new L.I.
Chamber Orchestra, newly organized under
the Chamber Players International,” said Mr.
Chicherio. “Regular HSAF attendees know
David as the Music Director & Conductor of
the former Long Island Philharmonic”. Also
look for exciting Jazz and a new edition of
Coltrane Day, World Music artists, as well
as great folk and Americana artists at the
Huntington Folk Festival in collaboration
with the Folk Music Society of Huntington.
(The Northport Community Band performs
five consecutive concerts on Thursday
evenings at the Robert F. Krueger Band
Shell in Northport Harbor.) Each Tuesday
features a Family show perfect for young
audiences.
The HSAF is produced by the Town of
Huntington and presented by the Huntington
Arts Council. The Board of Directors and
the Staff at HAC express their sincere
appreciation to the Town Council for their
support and for making this cherished
cultural program possible.
