More than a dozen students from the Port Jefferson Elementary School Fifth Grade Art Club visited Stony Brook University on January 31 to experience the Double Portrait exhibit and participate in hands-on art activities.
The visit was part of the Art2Go program, an education initiative created by Paul W. Zuccaire GalleryDirector and Curator Karen Levitov.

Splitting into two groups and led by a facilitator, children engaged with the artwork through discussion and participation in fun and creative activities.
“The children get a chance to look at art done by professionals and that helps to inspire their own art projects,” said Karen. “This opportunity and partnership is important because it achieves our goal of community outreach and expanding involvement in art.”
The Double Portrait exhibit, created by artist couple Nancy Friedman-Sanchez and Charley Friedman, features an egg-garden wall, a large flower painting, and other diverse and exciting artworks.
