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.  For information about becoming an LIMarts member, e-mail Alexandria D’Auria.

Artist of the Month

Portrait of artist Alan Richards

Alan Richards

The Long Island Museum and LIMarts are pleased to announce the March 2024 Artist of the Month: Alan Richards.

“My work is mainly photomontage. It uses multiple photographic images, segments of images, drawings, vectors, or clips that are fused to create a single composite image. The images may be playful, satirical, or of a more serious nature.  I try to tell a story with each image. My artwork represents the human condition. It reflects how I view events and the interaction between people and the world.  I either take the images myself or I use found/vintage or other images combined with my images. The images are supplemented by drawing to bring the various elements into a single work. I look for the unusual in a person or persons. It’s not whether a person is fat or skinny, one color or another, or any other physical attribute. It’s what appears to me to be their inner sense of being and strength that attracts me.”
