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
Lucrecia Novoa
The Long Island Museum and LIMarts are pleased to announce the April 2024 Artist of the Month: Lucrecia Novoa.
Lucrecia Novoa is a visual artist and cultural educator. She creates and uses a combination of masks, puppets, costumes, storytelling and dance to interpret the folk traditions of many cultures. She is a Founder and Director of Mascara Viva Puppeteers. Through her characters, Mascara Viva Puppeteers bring to life mythical and legendary beings interacting with people and enchanting them with their performances.
The Moon and the Sun are the guardians synchronized in time since the beginning of the creation. Eskimo Moon is resting in peace. Sun is alert and provides the light and energy that sustains life on earth. Plastic Freak represents curiosity and contemplation of the word in modern times.
