MLK Portrait Project / East End Arts
Lyceum Gallery – Suffolk County Community College, Eastern Campus
January 27 – March 7, 2025
Reception Thursday Feb 27 4:00 – 6:00pmSince 2020. the MLK Portrait Project unites the local youth community through artistic collaboration in celebration of Black History Month. Participating Long Island High Schools independently create large-scale mosaic portraits of civil rights leaders, each multimedia piece consisting of 16 individual panels and measuring 48” x 48”. The project braids education of American History and art, and its gallery exhibition brings students from many districts together.

This year, the MLK Portrait Project includes work elementary students from PS106 in Brooklyn, under the guidance of EEAC’s Art Programming Director, Kenneth Jackson, who pioneered the MLK Portrait Project. The 2025 exhibition includes works from 16 schools and is held in the Lyceum Gallery at Suffolk Community College’s Eastern Campus (SCCC).
