4. The exhibit, "Two Centuries of Long Island Women Artists, 1800-2000," at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, is dedicated to the memory of "arts patroness and community activist Cindy M. Smith, a Stony Brook resident and long-time supporter of local artists." “She felt women artists faced greater obstacles to success than men and had to work harder to achieve recognition. She would have been first on line to see the exhibition if she were still alive,” said Warren Strugatch, her husband. (TBR News Media)
