LongHouse Reserve encourages living with art in all forms. Founded by Jack Lenor Larsen, its collections, gardens, sculpture and programs reflect world cultures to inspire a creative life.

LongHouse Reserve is a 16-acre integrated environment created by artist, collector, and world-renowned textile designer and weaver Jack Lenor Larsen (1927-2020). LongHouse serves the community with vast open space and programs in art, nature, and wellness, providing sanctuary for Long Island and beyond. The sculpture garden features more than 60 outdoor works, including permanent collection works by Buckminster Fuller, Dale Chihuly, Yoko Ono, Willem de Kooning, and Sui Jinguao, and seasonal loans from artists such as Wyatt Kahn and Maren Hassinger, among others.

These works and the setting encourage exploration and contemplation for new and repeat visitors alike. LongHouse Reserve inspires and empowers visitors of all ages to see and think in new ways, and to incorporate art and design into their lives, invoking an ongoing act of creation that is renewed by the diverse communities drawn to its values and purpose. Whether visitors return to see a favorite garden or walk the grounds in search of a new installation, Longhouse is always changing and always new.

Jack Lenor Larsen designed and built LongHouse as a case study to exemplify a creative approach to contemporary life. He believed visitors experiencing art in living spaces have a unique learning experience.
