Middle Country Central School District Newfield High School student-artist Dom Mauri’s artwork was recently selected for the Long Island’s Best Young Artists Juried Exhibition at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington. The ninth grader was honored for his work during the Exhibition’s opening night award ceremony.

Dom’s recognition is a high honor; the Museum received over 385 entries from schools across Suffolk and Nassau counties, and only 80 were selected for display. The District, alongside its dedicated art teachers—such as Dom’s teacher Patti Kern—continues to encourage students to showcase incredible artwork across Long Island.
