A History of Community Service

While the Village is blessed with all sorts of entities who contribute to the cultural life of Huntington, and who have been regularly taking the concept of “Art Walk” to the next level, The Huntington Art Center is a place where it all started. They have long been central to nurturing this annual event, and remain to this day the best place to find out what and when all is going on.

Our Own Experience

Huntington Art Center used to be much more tucked away. At a time when I felt like I knew every corner of The Village, discovering it was delightful. I was just starting out as a fine art photographer, and looking at frames and art in ways I never had before. They say when the student is ready the teacher appears, right? I guess that’s why, after a lifetime of wandering the streets of Huntington, it was then I found the then-tucked away shop that had served the Village of Huntington since 1957.

Wendy was thoughtful and enlightening. I had so many questions! I’m not sure when I found out she was a regular reader of the newsletter – or if maybe that same day I discovered her was the first time she found me, too. I also had no idea that she was a major creative spirit behind Huntington’s Art Walks.

What I did know, instantly, was that this place was grounded in love of art and craftsmanship. It was a beautiful shop, for the frames alone, but it was also …. An art gallery…. Almost like a secret gallery…

Just knowing it existed made me smile.

Now! Now, I smile to think this frame shop is where it should be: Right on Wall Street in Huntington where anyone can see it. Inside is a gorgeous selection of frames as well as local and national art; a beautiful gallery that can frame whatever you need.  

Go see!

Our Own Experience

Artistry’s Drigo Morin is my Managing Partner at The Firefly,  and among my dearest friends. A major reason why I like him so much is that I’ve worked with him through 1000 different challenges, and every time he comes through with grace, skill and a great sense of humor. 

Many of our artists use Drigo, especially when it really matters. If you know exactly what you require, he can find it. If you have no idea what you’re doing, it’s no problem. Whether helping a young artist to get established, or assisting a high-end collector in caring for a valuable investment, the service is invariably excellent.

He’s a dang fine painter, too. Commissions welcome.

It’s got the work of dear Firefly Constance Sloggatt-Wolf in there, for one – Big pieces that she can’t usually fit at the Firefly!

I love it so much…

It’s beautiful…
