Embracing the goal to enhance and support the rich artistic talent on Long Island, LIM has created a special membership opportunity for visual artists, LIMarts: a collaborative arts group. Designed for artists dedicated to creating a forum within our cultural community, LIMarts offers space for the exhibition and sale of artwork, varied programming events, lectures and opportunities for social gathering with other artists and the public.

Common Ground: LIMarts Members’ Exhibition
On view November 20–December 21, 2025
The Long Island Museum (LIM) and LIMarts are thrilled to present the 12th annual members-only exhibition. LIM has been proud to provide a place for people of all ages to gather and enjoy the art, history, and culture of the region. We invited LIMarts members to participate in this year’s exhibition, Common Ground, a theme rooted in the appreciation of shared space, community, environment, and culture. The artist’s idea of a Common Ground can range from land, identity, gathering, or personal connections, and much more.
