Two Honored for Heckscher Contributions

Margy Hargraves, Stan Brodsky receive proclamations.

Councilwoman Susan A. Berland  recently presented proclamations from the Town of Huntington to Margy Hargraves and Stan Brodsky in recognition of their significant contributions to the arts and culture on Long Island.

The proclamations were presented at the Heckscher Museum of Art's Celebrate Achievement Benefit.

Margy Hargraves, museum trustee and immediate past chair of the board,  joined the Board of Trustees in 2002 and two years later was elected its chair. February of this year marked the completion of three consecutive terms at the helm of the museum.

Stan Brodsky, an artist and professor emeritus at LIU Post, has exhibited extensively around Long Island and throughout the United States. His exhibition, Stan Brodsky: Retrospective, was recently on view at the Heckscher Museum.

"It was a pleasure to present Margy and Stan with proclamations," Berland said. "They each greatly enhance the Heckscher Museum and the Long Island arts community at large. Margy has spent years advocating for and leading the museum. Her grace and enthusiasm has made such a positive and long-lasting contribution to the Huntington community. Stan is a brilliant artist and we are proud to have his works as part of the Heckscher Museum Permanent Collection."
