The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame explained

The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame was incorporated in July 2005 under the New York State Board of Regents, as a nonprofit organization and holds a provisional charter to operate as a museum in the state of New York. It recognizes musicians, music executives, and other music and entertainment professionals who have contributed to the musical and entertainment heritage of Long Island through Induction Ceremonies held every 2 years since 2006. Inductees are selected by a committee that determines their eligibility through their contributions and time spent living and performing within the geographic area of Long Island, which includes Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. One of the organization’s primary missions is to support local education. It has distributed tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to Long Island high school Seniors, gives annual Educator of Note Awards to deserving educators, and hosts concerts where high school bands and orchestras perform with LIMEHOF inductees. The organization opened the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame and Museum in November, 2022 in Stony Brook, NY.[1] The ribbon cutting ceremony was performed by Ernie Canadeo, Chairman, and the board of directors of the organization, local government officials, and the board of the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the landlord of the property.[2] The 8800 square foot building includes a museum of Long Island music history celebrating its over 120 Inductees, memorabilia, photographs and videos, a rotating exhibit the first of which is “Long Island’s Legendary Club Scene – 1960’s-80’s, a surround sound theater, and 2 stages for musical performances and speaker presentations. Its presenting sponsor is Catholic Health, a prominent Long Island health care system, and a program entitled Health and Harmony will be launched in 2023, exploring and cultivating the relationship between music and health and wellness.
