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.
Artist of the Month
Margaret Minardi
The Long Island Museum and LIMarts is thrilled to announce that the April Artist of the Month is Margaret Minardi!
Margaret Minardi lived much of her early years in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Without television or radio, she was able to foster a vivid imagination. She attended S.U.N.Y. Purchase, where she graduated at the top of her conservatory. In 1982, she was awarded the Faculty Award for Drawing and Painting. Minardi received a Master’s in Education from Dowling College. The remainder of her education was predominantly self-taught.
Minardi has shown in over 250 exhibitions that include solo, group, local, national, and international venues. Her work continues to win top awards, including Best in Show in many of them, and has also graced the cover of Artist Magazine and Colored Pencil Magazine.
Minardi has also been a panelist and guest speaker at places like the Heckscher Museum and Saint Joseph’s College. She has been a grant recipient, a juror, National Art Educator of the Year, and an Artist in Residence.
Margaret Minardi’s series has focused on subjects such as infertility, adoption, identical twins, her upbringing in Trinidad, and her incredible students.
