The Arts & Culture of Huntington Station

The Underpainting of a Paul B. & Phillip Young exhibition entitled, “CHEER UP” currently on view at Nautilus Roasting Company

Art Across Huntington Station

From the firehouse to underpass murals to the library walls, Huntington Station showcases its local art across places folks drive past and visit every day.

On a warm morning or a beautiful evening, you can grab a cup of coffee or a delicious bite, and see sculptures, murals, gardens, art centers, and gallery spaces. Suite Pieces offers space for local artisans. Nautilus Coffee is a work of art unto itself. More artists live here than we can count. There is history. There is culture. There is civic pride. Tastes of this are shared through public artworks created by folks who call Huntington Station home.

When putting together last autumn’s “Station Celebration of Arts & Culture” with the Huntington Station BID, we were delighted to work with the office of Suffolk County Legislator Rebecca Sanin to put together this list of art available to be seen for free across Huntington Station. Now that that we can feel the sun again, it’s a great time to share it!

For more information about great stuff going on in the Station, please join the Huntington Station Business Improvement District (BID)’s email list

The Bahr Gallery: What A Trip! Have You Been?

Oyster Bay Treasure: The Bahr Gallery

Had a lovely time in Oyster Bay with an old friend. First, we stopped by Sweet Tomato, which is filled with delicious soups and sandwiches. Then, we went right next door to stop in at the captivating Bahr Gallery.

There’s a 6-minute video that tells the story of this place. Suffice it to say, Ted Bahr is a man with a passion that he is delighted to share. Collectors have taken notice, traveling from all over the world over to do just that.

Located in the charming village Oyster Bay, The Bahr Galley is “dedicated to finding good homes for the stunning psychedelic posters of the late 1960’s.” They “specialize in first printings, often signed, of Avalon, Fillmore, and other iconic venue posters which are highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs of the period. Most “are previously authenticated and bought at auction from reliable, reputable vendors who have been in the market for many years.”

There are generally 60-some-odd posters on view. They shift like vibrant, kaleidoscopic, Art Nouveau tides from that golden age of music, rolling in and out as Bahr perpetually curates his evolving collection. More than 300 pieces are fully cataloged and organized by band and category on the website.

They have visited museums and lived in fascinating homes. Here, they await their next residences, while having grand adventures with folks who come to appreciate them. 

It’s quite a trip! Do go see! 

Operating hours vary with the season. Regular events add another layer entertainment and cultural immersion. Private visits may be arranged by e-mailing ted@bahrgallery.com or call 516-283-1967. Let us know how it goes!

It was so much fun to do this with Patti. I love this woman and hadn’t seen her in way too long. She’s a primary reason my son is an Eagle Scout. Her whole family is dear to our hearts, and we are grateful she has continued to guide cubs since our own boys went off to college. In a place where people have worlds of concerns about things we don’t even need to know about, she is a calm, a focus, a gently effervescent, comforting presence. The world is better because she is in it. I am grateful. Thanks! <3
