Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio has been recognized with an Engaging Communities Award from the Museum Association of New York (MANY). This honor celebrates the impact of “Shinnecock Speaks,” an exhibition hosted by Ma’s House in 2024 featuring 27 contemporary Shinnecock artists. Through painting, photography, film and sculpture, the show amplified Shinnecock voices, sharing powerful stories of resilience, sovereignty and identity. With artist talks, workshops, and panel discussions, the exhibition fostered meaningful conversations and connections between the Shinnecock community and the broader Hamptons arts scene.
In addition, Jeremy Dennis, lead artist and executive director, has been named a Rising Star by MANY. This award recognizes emerging leaders in the museum and arts world and Dennis’s work in uplifting BIPOC artists, preserving Indigenous culture and fostering community through Ma’s House.
