The Huntington Town Board honored Erich Preis last week for his contributions to the art world.
Preis, founder of the Spirit of Huntington Art Center, was given a proclamation recognizing his own work as a painter as well as his engagement with and support of the Huntington arts community.
At the meeting, town Councilman Gene Cook donated a painting of Heckscher Park that Preis had made and gave it to the town’s archives.
