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!
Huntington Historical Society Celebrates the Season and 250 Years of Liberty

Like most things with them, the About Page of the Huntington Historical Society is fascinating.
Did you know that Theodore Roosevelt spoke at the 250th celebration of the Founding of the Town of Huntington, back in 1903? Did you know it inspired a group of prominent local women to organize a society to “perpetuate an interest in things Historic;……in fact all Historic relics relating to the Town of Huntington since 1653?”
This “Colonial Society”, which later evolved into the Huntington Historical Society at first restricted active membership to women. Eight years later, they let the men get involved. Going gangbusters since, they have protected and interpreted the history of our town and the central Long Island region, maintaining five national register historic properties, stewarding a deep and fascinating collection of artifacts, and hosting a variety of fun and educational events.
Come to the Apple Festival on October 5th!
One of their favorite events is also serving as an incredibly rich addition to the 2025 Fall Huntington Art Walk, happening October 5th. At that time, they warmly invite you to bring the whole family to the historic Kissam House for the 2025 Apple Festival!
There, you may enjoy traditional and seasonal crafts and games, including pumpkin painting. The folk artists, artisans and musicians are wonderful, as are all the neighbors who don costumes and explain how life was way back when. Of course, there are plenty of apples, both fresh and prepared in all sorts of ways. The Museum Shop will be open. It’s so much fun!
Celebrating 250 Years: What Does Liberty Mean to You?
Now, we’re celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In honor, the Historical Society is offering LIBERTY 250. From their website:
“Liberty is one of the inalienable rights specified in the Declaration of Independence.
The Pledge of Allegiance promises Liberty for all.
Patrick Henry demanded Liberty or Death.
Share your thoughts as part of Liberty250 – Huntington’s celebration of 250 years of American Independence.”
They will have a booth at the 2025 “Celebrate Huntington! LI Fall Festival”, happening Columbus Day weekend. They hope you will stop by then and let them know: WHAT DOES LIBERTY MEAN TO YOU?

The Huntington Art Center recently celebrated a ribbon cutting for their beautiful new space on Wall Street in Huntington. Now, it is easy to find their quality framing, printing and design services, as well as a curated collection of local and national fine art.
