The Huntington Arts Council announced the addition of two new board members last week: Kenneth H. Baer of Dix Hills and Patrick Zerbo of Cold Spring Harbor. The two were selected based on leadership and fundraising skills, council officials said.
"[Their] innovative abilities will be greatly appreciated," said Diana J. Cherryholmes, the council’s executive director. "We look forward to working with them and expanding our fundraising efforts to have a greater overall impact on the cultural life of Long Island."
Baer is currently vice president of investments at Baer Financial Group-UBS Financial Services in Melville. He’s previously served on several boards in an executive capacity.
Meanwhile, Zerbo is director of sales for J. D’Addario & Company in Farmingdale, which designs, manufactures and markets musical strings, drumheads and other accessories.
"His communications skills will be a huge help to us, especially because of his interest in reaching more young people through our Arts in Education program," said
Cherryholmes.
In other news, the Arts Council recently commenced its third silent art auction, "L’Art pour L’Art – A Silent Affair," which features work from council artist members in oil, pastel, watercolor, photography and sculpture. Proceeds will help fund council programs at the Main Street Petite Gallery in Huntington and the Art-trium Gallery in Melville.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 1-5 p.m. Saturday until Nov. 2. For more information, visit the Huntington Arts Council’s website at huntingtonarts.org.
