Helping Educators Move Beyond Survival Mode

Teaching in today's world often feels like survival mode-constant demands, emotional overload, and little time to pause or reset. Yet the teacher's well-being is one of the most potent influences on student behavior, engagement, and learning.
Well Teachers → Thriving Classrooms is an interactive, restorative, and deeply practical workshop designed to help educators reconnect with themselves, regulate stress, and bring calm, clarity, and confidence back into their classrooms.

250 Years of Art Across Long Island
Long Island's natural setting: central vast plain, north shore hills and rocky outcroppings, expansive beaches and barrier island's, created fascination for artists, inspiring Long island equivalents of Hudson River painting, Luminism, and American Impressionism. Its proximity to art's undisputed capitol city, New York, and ease of access through the railroad beginning at the turn of the last century, gave birth to art's summer colonies and enabled the Post-War avant-garde.
Influence and Identity:
Influence and Identity: Twentieth Century Portrait Photography from the Bank of America Collection features the works of international photographers from the early through the mid-twentieth century, a period often called the golden age of portrait photography. The exhibition includes works by master portraitists such as Antony Armstrong-Jones, Richard Avedon, Yousuf Karsh and Gisèle Freund, as well as renowned photographers Berenice Abbott, Imogen Cunningham, Garry Winogrand and Brassaï. Using photography, a medium born of the modern era, these artists produced images that capture the commanding personalities of celebrated figures in popular culture, politics and the arts.
