Art in Context Collecting the World to Know the World — Sir Hans Sloane’s Drawing Albums Tuesday, October 31, 12:30–1 pm ET Online   The vast collections of Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) were the foundations of three national institutions: the British Library, the British Museum, and the Natural History Museum. A royal physician and natural philosopher of insatiable curiosity who was secretary and president of the Royal Society, Sloane attempted to encompass the world and its knowledge through the creation of an encyclopedic collection to be left to the nation. In this talk, Kim Sloan will examine recent efforts to reconstruct his collections and provide an overview of Sloane’s “paper museum” of one hundred albums of more than 20,000 drawings. Sloan is a Visiting Scholar at the YCBA and former curator of British drawings and watercolors at the British Museum.   REGISTER TODAY!

Based on the feedback of two HAC surveys, this PD program was developed for the community, by the community. These entrepreneurial workshops focus on identity, community engagement and finance for Long Island based artists and organizations looking to strengthen their practice and programs. “I’ve been an active part of the Long Island Arts Community for just over 5 years at the point of writing this testimonial. In that time, I have attended many professional development classes and practicums across Long Island. I am so, so grateful that Huntington Arts Council has the opportunity to provide these services to the Long Island Arts Community because they are the most in-depth professional development series that I have been able to find… and continue to return to. These courses have given me the tools to plan my career and the confidence to tackle it.” – C. Artist Attendee FREE Presenting Your Work Featuring Len Marks of Len Marks Photography & Wendy Curtis & Tom Northrop of the Huntington Art Center November 1, 2023 4:00PM - 6:00PM  Huntington Arts Council 213 Main St., Huntington NY, 11743 & Online FREE Registration is required. Please choose from the following attendance options: in person, online, or receive a recording.TO REGISTER, CLICK HERE. Join Len Marks of Len Marks Photography and Wendy Curtis & Tom Northrop of the Huntington Art Center to discuss presenting your artwork in the best way possible. First, Len Marks will demonstrate the difference between a do-it-yourself setup for photographing your work versus a professional setup, explaining when each is most appropriate. Next, Wendy Curtis and Tom Northrop will share their framing expertise with us, highlighting best practices and what artists should consider when displaying artwork. Len Marks is a seasoned photographer with over 32 years of experience, specializing in multiple facets of photography. His expertise spans across artist branding, business photography, and actor headshots, each with its unique approach and purpose. In the realm of business photography, Len's core focus lies in professional headshots and editorial portraits. He believes that headshots are not merely about capturing a visually appealing image but are a reflection of one's true essence. Len approaches headshots as 90% psychology and 10% photography, understanding that successful headshot photography requires the ability to connect with people and effectively communicate their story. As a people person, Len excels at creating a comfortable environment for his clients, allowing them to express their authentic selves and capturing their professional persona in a meaningful way. Wendy Curtis and Tom Northrop own the Huntington Art Center, custom framing and art gallery. They have both been framing and working in galleries for over 35 years. Wendy graduated from R.I.T, studying photography, art history and advertising design. Tom studied painting and drawing at Maryland Institute College of Art. Owning and operating a business makes it hard to find the time to create art, but Wendy tries to carve out a little every now and then, and has shown her work at Salmagundi Club NYC, Soho Photo Gallery, Alex Ferrone Gallery, Huntington Arts Council, Art League of Long Island, fotofoto gallery, Artists' Market, and of course Huntington Art Center. Tom is a Certified Master Framer, has framed tens of thousands of pieces over his career, and has hung more than he can count.  Wendy says, "We've both been framing and presenting art for so long, we've gone from doing it all by hand, to using a CMC machine and computers! We look forward to sharing our skills and knowledge with fellow artists!"
