EDUCATIONAL FOCUS OF LongHouse:
Inspired by the natural beauty and sculptural aesthetic at LongHouse, the Education Committee seeks to empower visitors in a compelling and personal way. By providing a variety of resources to enhance one's experience, we strive to awaken the senses, deepen one's appreciation and encourage the artist within. It is our intent that these resources along with our festivals, workshops, and invitational Student Annual will build strong lasting relationships between LongHouse and our students, educators, families and community.
Mission
LongHouse Reserve exemplifies living with art in all forms. Founded by Jack Lenor Larsen, its collections, gardens, sculpture and programs reflect world cultures and inspire a creative life.
Art Focus
The art focus at LongHouse is ethnographic and handcrafts – both areas of collecting with aspects for every purse. Some of these functions, at least on occasion; most merely lift the heart and expand the imagination.
Garden Focus
LongHouse gardens become an expansive case study of a considered lifestyle at the turn of millennium. The objective is to simultaneously create landscapes as an art form and to demonstrate planting potentials in this climate -- with broad selections of species and cultivars. In an era when such extensive plant collections could be construed as indulgence, the sharing of them is the pleasure of both the Founder and the foundation. Belief is that experiencing such pleasures in relation to living spaces, in time, and with seasonal changes is the soundest learning experience.
