We are actively looking for sponsors to support our 2013/ 2014 gallery exhibitions, Art in the Park, Art After Dark and the Holiday Fine Arts and Craft show. If you have any business or corporate contacts on Long Island, I would be happy to reach out to them. We have a great story to tell about the Art League of Long Island. The time is now to reach out to our business, corporate and professional communities to ask for their support. Please call me at 631.462.5400 or e mail me at cmiller@artleagueli.org.

If you have received recognition for your artwork or other accomplishments and you are willing to share, I would be happy to mention it in the next Director’s Corner.
