84th Artisit Members Exhibition at Guild Hall
The Artist Members Exhibition began in 1938, and Guild Hall continues this long-standing, democratic tradition as the oldest non-juried museum exhibition on Long Island. This lively presentation features over 300 works and showcases a variety of media. As with the concept of the Salon, established artists are exhibited alongside emerging talent and first-time exhibitors, offering a glimpse of artistic practices within our community. This initiative allows audiences to support and celebrate the artists who live and work in our immediate region and enables artists to sell their works. In turn, artists show their commitment to and support of Guild Hall—early participants included James Brooks, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Alfonso Ossorio, Charlotte Park, Jackson Pollock, and many more.
Both exhibitions open on Saturday, October 28, with a Members-Only Reception from 4-6 PM and will be open to the public from Sunday, October 29, 2023, through January 8, 2024. Galleries are open from Friday to Monday, 12-5 PM. Museum admission is always free. A series of Lunch Break discussions and Creative Labs will be presented throughout the run of the exhibitions, featuring topics inspired by the works on view and the participating artists.
Louise & Howie’s Coffee Bar featuring Tutto Caffè is open in the lobby during gallery hours. Refreshments are not allowed in the galleries but may be enjoyed in the lobby and in our gardens.
