The Great Neck Library will feature the works of the Manhasset Art Association beginning October 1. An art reception with Juried Show will celebrate the exhibit on October 4 from 2 – 4 pm.
In 1948, a small group of Manhasset artists was 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.
