About the 2026 Student Exhibition | March 7–April 26, 2026
The annual Student Exhibition, a tradition for over 70 years at the Parrish, features the work of more than 1,000 young artists from Eastern Long Island schools. Working with their art teachers, after-school programs, and in art clubs, the students demonstrate creativity, enthusiasm, and technical skill in media ranging from painting to sculpture, drawing, and photography.
ACCESS PARRISH Celebrates 10 Years
Founded in 2016, ACCESS PARRISH marks 10 years this year of making art accessible to all. The program serves year-round community members with a wide range of neurodivergent, physical, and cognitive disabilities, fostering wellbeing, connection, creativity, and lifelong engagement with art for individuals with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism, and cancer, as well as veterans, seniors, caregivers, and families facing social, economic, or physical barriers.
Celebrating this milestone, the 2026 Student Exhibition showcases artwork by ACCESS PARRISH participants inspired by Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care and the 250th anniversary of the United States, exploring themes of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, sustainability, and Long Island ecology.
Exhibition Support
The Parrish Art Museum’s educational programming is supported, in part, by the Arts and Letters Foundation; NY Community Trust-Long Island; the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation; Peggy Amster; and the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and Tuckahoe Common School District. Additional support for education initiatives is provided by the Museum’s annual Spring Fling and Midsummer Gala benefit events.
The Parrish Art Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
