Dear friends,

I hope you are enjoying the winter season and some of the new programs this year at the Art League of Long Island.  There are so many ways to be involved.  I would like to encourage you to renew your membership as we are building our benefits program. 

We have a Members Only Salon moderated by Board Member and artist Christine Donnelly on February 26th, which will give you the opportunity to network with other artists and speak about your creative process.  We are also opening an Artists’ Circle Critique Group, led by instructor Kevin Larkin.  Members have access to a free tour next month of the D’Amico House in Amagansett and of the Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio in East Hampton in April.

Members receive discounts on Try Night fun too, as well as on our workshops and classes.  There are new classes and workshops to try from Painting with Oil Glazes to Oil Painting from Life to a Pottery Practicum with Steven Hill to Weaving Tapestries.  We have acclaimed artists Antonio Masi, Jan Guarino, Julissa Llosa and Andrea Cote joining us this year too!  Also, members receive a discount when you enter into our exhibitions at the beautiful Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery too.  Join us!

We will soon be adding 2-D Open Studio time, with a members’ discount as well.  Be on the lookout for those later this month!

Want to tickle your writing bones?  I want to invite you to join in on a free program for writers at the Bainbridge Barn.  They also have a free slow stitch program as well!

Thank you again – to everyone who continues to be a part of our community every day.  I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Marianne Della Croce

Executive Director

Dear friends,

Happy New Year!  I hope that you had a wonderful and joyous holiday season.

Thank you for all of your year-end contributions.  Without your continued support, we would not be able to offer the wide variety of programs that are able to, month after month, year after year.  A full list of year-end donors can be found here.

We have some great new things happening!  Join us for new workshops in Painting, Mixed Media, and Watercolor.  We have  new classes with Derek Owens and Margaret Minardi.  We have another Try Night planned for February 13th – perfect for a date night or for a night out with friends.  

Our Members’ Exhibition will reopen on January 6th.  Join us for a Members’ Only Salon Discussion moderated by Christine Donnelly.

Or simply renew your membership or make a donation to ensure that future generations of artists can be a part of the Art League of Long Island for another 70+ years.

And finally, save the date for our new fundraiser, “Love, Picasso” on Saturday, November 14th.  More details to come.

Thank you again – to everyone who continues to be a part of our community every day.  I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Sincerely,

Marianne Della Croce

Executive Director
