Huntington artist Alex Fusaro selected for Long Island Public Arts Festival at Heckscher Park

Huntington-based artist Alex Fusaro, who also exhibits as Alex Tric, has work on display in the Long Island Public Arts Festival at Heckscher Park through Nov. 1, 2026. The outdoor installation places his mixed-media piece alongside 20 other regional artists as part of a festival designed to bring gallery-style art into public space.

Why it matters: - The selection puts a Huntington artist in front of a broad local audience in a free, open-air setting. - The festival turns traditional gallery viewing into a public park experience, making the work accessible to visitors during everyday use of Heckscher Park. - The exhibition gives local artists exposure across Long Island while connecting the arts event to community spaces.

Between the lines: - The festival is built to lower the barrier between artists and audiences by placing large-scale works in everyday public spaces. - The outdoor format favors artwork that can read quickly and hold attention at distance, which aligns with Fusaro’s colorful style. - Showing under the name Alex Fusaro at the festival while also using Alex Tric elsewhere gives the artist a dual-identity footprint that may widen discoverability.

What's next: - The exhibition remains open through Nov. 1, 2026. - Park visitors can continue viewing the installations as part of the festival’s final stop at Heckscher Park. - Fusaro’s website and Instagram remain the main channels for following future work and exhibitions.
