Dear friends,

Happy Spring!  As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, there is always a feeling of renewal and growth.  The Art League of Long Island looks forward to being a part of your personal and creative growth this season.

We have a wide breadth of new workshops and classes that are being offered for adults and teens this spring.  Try your hand at collage, Iphone photography, maybe flower washes?  Or maybe, join master watercolorist Antonio Masi for his painting bold workshop in May.

This month we present the return of the Long Island Craft Guild’s exhibition “Seeing the Other” through April 19th in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery.  At the end of the month, we present an unique dual exhibition “Painting with Light: Photographs of Stephen Hopper” on the first floor of the gallery, with a special exhibition of instructors and students of our printmaking and collage classes on the second floor of the gallery.

Veterans, we are presenting a special free workshop with John Mellilo, The Art of Healing, on May 23rd.

Parents, our Summer Portfolio Program and Summer Art Adventure Program are open for registration.  Ensure a spot for your teen or young artist today!  Half Hollow Hills residents look in your the school’s virtual backpacks for a discount code.

We’ve made a change to our long standing Art in the Park event, bringing it to our home to celebrate our location.  The Art in the Parking Lot will be held on June 2nd with a rain date of June 9th.  Interested in being an exhibitor?  Click here for details.

Please renew your membership and enjoy the benefits it provides, including discounts to our classes and supplies at your favorite stores.

Any way you look at it, there is something for everyone and an avenue for you to be involved.  And I look forward to seeing you soon.

Best,
Marianne Della Croce
Executive Director

Dear friends,

It has been my honor to visit with you during the weeks that our Executive Director is away.  I have enjoyed stopping in the studios and visiting with you, meeting our new instructors and students and visiting familiar faces.

I hope you are enjoying the Members’ Exhibition in the Jeannie Tengelsen Gallery.  Our Go APE reception will be on March 9th from 1-3pm. We are thrilled to host this important exhibition for our high school A.P. art students this year in spite of being closed during its regular time frame.  At the end of the month we will welcome the Long Island Craft Guild’s “Seeing the Other” exhibition, which was open for one day before we closed in the fall.  Please be sure to join the reception on March 30th.

The spring class schedule is on our website!  We continue to offer a complete slate of classes in all of your favorite mediums.  Perhaps you’re interested in trying something new?  We have something for everyone.  You can see our full list of classes here.

Parents, our Summer Portfolio Program and  Summer Art Adventure Program are open for registration.

Interested in volunteering with us?  Let us know!  We are always looking for assistance in the gallery or with our Young Artist classes.

Please renew your membership and enjoy the benefits that it provides, including discounts to our classes and for supplies at your favorite supply stores. Any way you look at it, there is something for everyone and an avenue for you to be involved.

Please stop by the office and say hello!  I look forward to hearing from you and Marianne looks forward to returning at the end of the month.

From the desk of the Executive Director,
Charlee Miller
