Long Beach High School student artists Keira Fontaine, Juan Pablo Hernandez, Laika Khan and Janiya McArthur have been selected to exhibit their artwork at Heckscher Museum as part of Long Island's Best Young Artists Competition 2024. Additionally, Juan received an Honorable Mention in Drawing.

In its 28th year, Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum is the only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their work in a museum. Each year, students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to create a work of art inspired by artwork shown in the Museum during the school year and submit to this prestigious juried exhibition. Hundreds of works of art are submitted from schools across Nassau and Suffolk counties and approximately 80 are chosen for display in the exhibition. Congratulations Keira, Juan, Laika and Janiya on this wonderful honor!
