Shaping the Future: Grumman Concept Art Exhibit

On View: April 4 through September 6, 2026 | Free with Museum Admission For over half a century, Grumman Aerospace on Long Island produced some of the best and most famous aircraft and spacecraft ever built in America. However, for each type of aircraft that reached production, many other advanced designs were conceived and developed but never placed into production for a variety of reasons. These original artworks, which show cutting-edge concepts, reveal the advanced planning underway in Bethpage that helped push back America’s air and space frontier. Talented Grumman staff artists did not conceive of these ideas; they worked with Grumman engineers who outlined the design and details of the proposal aircraft or spacecraft. Most of these artworks were then created to illustrate a proposal that was pitched to various government agencies for development. Other artworks were created to give the public some idea of what a new aircraft or spacecraft would look like once it went into production. These rare artworks have never been shown to the public before.
