Community Conversations: We the People: A Conversation about Art and Democracy

We the people…A conversation about Art & Democracy. 

Inspired by the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for an evening of food, conversation at a Democracy Dinner, hosted by the Huntington Historical Society and Heckscher Museum of Art.

Artists from the Museum’s Just Powers: Long Island Biennial 2026 exhibition, will join us as special guests, helping to spark conversation at the each table, as they share how these ideas shape their work and creative practices, and inviting attendees to offer their own unique perspectives regarding the intersection of art and civic life.

The evening will feature catering by Gingerbites, a local restaurant serving Haitian cuisine rooted in rich cultural traditions. With Haitian Flag Day (May 18) just days later, the menu offers a meaningful connection to themes of unity, resistance, and pride, highlighting how culture and shared experience can bring people together and deepen conversations around inclusion and belonging.

Weather you’re passionate about the arts, interested in civic engagement, or simply looking to connect, we warmly welcome you to join us.
