Littig House

by Grace Lucarelli | Oct 15, 2025 | Community Outreach

Littig House Community Center

The Art Guild is proud to work with The Littig House Community Center, a long-standing organization that has supported youth and families in Port Washington since 1951. Littig House focuses on reducing the effects of social, economic, and educational challenges in the community through strong, well-funded programs.

As part of our partnership, Art Guild teaching artists visit Littig House every other Friday to lead art classes for their students. We focus on more than just arts and crafts — our goal is to teach meaningful, creative projects that highlight diverse voices, especially artists of color.

Together, we’re helping young people explore their creativity, build confidence, and connect with art in new ways. We’re proud to support Littig House in making a lasting impact in Port Washington and the Town of North Hempstead.
