ABOUT US
A Brief History...
In 1948, a small group of Manhasset artists were invited to meet at the home of Helen Jennings, who had a dream of organizing a workshop where artists could work together to develop their talents, exchange ideas, and foster a greater appreciation and advancement of the arts in the community. In 1949, a constitution was adopted, and Helen Jennings was elected president. The association held meetings at many different sites such as the old firehouse on Bayview Avenue, Patricia Murphy's restaurant, Manhasset Hall, the old Onderdonk House, the Community Reformed Church, Haven Art Studio, Port Washington Community Chest Building, the Polish American Museum & now the Lutheran Church
of our Saviour, Manhasset.

Today the MAA still offers workshops with a live model and 2-3 major art exhibits each year in local libraries and galleries. All members are expected to volunteer to help run the organization, and it is the spirit of cooperation which makes it successful and has brought us to our 76th anniversary.
