The Bayside Historical Society's 2026 Winter Art Show, showcasing contemporary Queens artists working in a wide range of styles and media, has come to a close.

​

This year, 63 local artists and 20 student artists from Bayside High School submitted images of their work for display in virtual galleries on the BHS website. More than 100 selected pieces were also exhibited at The Bay Terrace Shopping Center. The works were judged by Neill Slaughter, Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts at Long Island University, and Susan D'Alessio, a plein air landscape painter from Long Island, New York. Awards were presented during the artists’ closing reception at Bay Terrace.

​

Bayside Historical Society extends its sincere thanks to everyone involved in making our 26th Annual Winter Art Show a success — from the gifted artists and esteemed judges to our dedicated staff and volunteers. Special thanks to Joe Forgione and Andrea Butler from Cord Meyer for the gallery space at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center and for providing such delicious fare for the artists. This year also celebrated the 25th anniversary of this beloved community tradition, and we are incredibly proud of all who took part.
