Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History.
Program includes a paddle raise in support of the Museum’s exhibitions, collections, education programs, and community access initiatives.
Paddle Raise Sponsor: CHRISTIE’S
This year’s Heckscher Museum Benefit was inspired by the exhibition Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History, curated by Karli Wurzelbacher, PhD, Chief Curator, which is currently on view through March 15, 2026.
Emma Stebbins (1815–1882) carved out a career on two continents and made history as one of the most significant American sculptors of the nineteenth century. In 1856, she embarked from New York City for Rome to further her artistic ambitions. Over the next fourteen years, she created innovative marble sculptures, including unprecedented allegories of labor and industry, as well as incisive interpretations of literary and biblical subjects. Stebbins also sculpted portraits of her chosen family, including her wife, actress Charlotte Cushman, who championed her work. In 1865, with a bronze statue of educator Horace Mann in Boston, she became the first woman to complete a public monument in the US. Stebbins was also the first woman to earn a public art commission for New York City, the iconic Bethesda Fountain in Central Park.
Stebbins’s art speaks to some of the most compelling issues of her time (and ours), including gender and sexuality, ecology and industry, and political conflict and public art. This exhibition brings together most of her rare marble sculptures for the first time. It also examines the rich histories of her monuments, including the Bethesda Fountain, which continues to inspire a vast public with its message of peace and healing.


Joan and Milton Bagley are philanthropists, passionate collectors, and patrons of the arts. They have been generous supporters of the Museum and part of Huntington’s cultural community for over 30 years.
Over more than three decades, Joan, Milton, and the Bagley family have developed an impressive collection of paintings and sculpture by artists across Latin America that is notable for its range, depth, and rich variety of visual expression. The Heckscher Museum was fortunate to exhibit their family’s collection, including masterworks by Fernando Botero, Diego Rivera, and more in the 2018 exhibition Rivera and Beyond: Latin American Art from the Joan and Milton Bagley Collection.
Most recently in 2024, a transformative gift from the Collection of Joan and Milton Bagley was made to the Heckscher Museum’s permanent collection of artworks by Francisco Zúñiga, Roberto Matta, Julio Larraz, and Ignacio Iturria, leaving an important legacy that will allow the Museum to share the family’s treasured art with the community in perpetuity.

Bank of America is one of the world’s leading financial institutions, serving clients and local communities on Long Island. A partner of more than three decades, the Bank has supported The Heckscher Museum since 1991.
Bank of America’s Art in our Communities program, established in 2008, offers the Bank’s art collection to communities through curated exhibitions that museums and nonprofit galleries may borrow at no cost. In 2019, the Museum’s popular exhibition In a New Light: American Impressionism: Works from the Bank of America Collection was lent through this program, sharing important American Impressionist works with Long Islanders.
The Bank has been a visionary supporter of The Heckscher Museum of Art. In 2024, the Bank underwrote free admission to the Museum, providing visitors and families with access to the Museum’s art collection and exhibitions at no cost resulting in nearly doubling the Museum’s attendance.

Deborah Buck is an artist and philanthropist whose work has recently been featured in publications including The Brooklyn Rail, BOMB Magazine, and Two Coats of Paint
In 2019 she founded the Deborah Buck Foundation to support institutions that elevate women’s voices in the arts—past and present. Deborah brings insight and urgency to this purpose, continuing to advocate for a more inclusive cultural landscape. In pursuit of this mission, the Foundation has generously supported The Heckscher Museum, including the exhibitions Salt Life: Arthur Dove and Helen Torr and Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History.
As a young artist, Deborah was mentored by Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still, who recognized her independent spirit and sent her to the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture. She studied Fine Arts at Trinity College, embracing a broad liberal arts education that continues to inform her practice. Her work defies trends and embraces bold, intuitive expression. She has exhibited widely with solo exhibitions at Jennifer Baahng Gallery, La MaMa Galleria, and The Southampton Art Center, and has been included in numerous group shows. Deborah’s They Had Stars in Their Eyes, is part of the Museum’s permanent collection and was recently exhibited in The Rains are Changing Fast: New Acquisitions in Context
