For our first new exhibition of 2026, we’re honored and excited to be partnering with East End Arts Council as the host venue for their sixth annual MLK Portrait Project. Pioneered by Kenneth Jackson, EEAC’s Art Programming Director, the project honors Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders. 

To create this unique community project, East End Arts works with Long lsland high schools to create large-scale mosaic portraits of prominent figures in the civil rights movement. Braiding American history and art, these striking images will be on display at the library during Black History Month, through until March 29.
