Kennedy High School art teachers Carissa Roche, Sarah Ritchie and Vanessa Albaneze are proud to announce that their respective students Annemarie Cabrera, Anna Varveris, Madison Yeh were chosen for the prestigious annual Heckscher Museum's Long Island's Best exhibition.

Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum is the only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their work in a museum.

Along with the honor of being chosen for the exhibit, Cabrera received the Firefly Gallery's award for "Next Generation" and Yeh's artwork was chosen to be in an extended exhibit after the museum's exhibit at Mitchells Department Store in Huntington from May 25 through June 27.

Students were challenged to create works of art inspired by a piece they viewed at Heckscher. The museum chose 83 students this year from approximately 331 entries from 56 high schools. Guests can schedule a visit to see this exhibition in person.
