Dear friends,

Happy 70th Anniversary!  I hope you have begun to see and take advantage of some of our celebratory programs for the year and that you are excited for what’s to come.

The event link is now open for our May 3rd Infinite Quest Reception, which celebrates the life and works of our own instructor, David Peikon.  All ticket salesand proceeds of artwork sales will benefit the Art League of Long Island.  We also have a special opportunity for businesses, faculty, and students to purchase space in our journal for the event.  We hope you join us for an evening of an extraordinary showcase of Peikon’s evolution as an artist, as he captures the essence of serenity, peace,

and the natural world in his exquisitely crafted works.

Dear friends,

Happy 70th Anniversary!  We hope that you are ready to celebrate 2025 with us in a special way!

First, I would like you to save the date of May 3rd for our Infinite Quest Reception, which celebrates the life and works of our own instructor, David Peikon.  Proceeds of all ticket and artwork sales will benefit the Art League of Long Island.

We are planning a special anniversary exhibition this fall in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery entitled “Pigments of Your Imagination.”  I look forward to seeing all of your submissions.  Details to come.

There are many other ways to participate in our celebratory year.  Join us in one of our unique workshops, including Advanced Watercolors with Antonio Masi or Jan Guarino.

We are beginning an Introduction to Oil Painting workshop this year with one of our repeat award winning exhibition artists, Chris Henson.  Thomas Germano will be leading an En Plein Air workshop this spring.  Look for wood turning, knitting, and other 70s crafts to make an appearance this year too.  We are also hosting the Long Island Big Ink Workshop this fall.  You can register now.

Join us on our Instagram and Facebook pages as we count down 70 Reasons Why We Love the Art League.  Stop by the office to let us film you declaring your love for ALLI and we will post the reel to encourage newcomers to be a part of our community.

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.

Thank you again – to everyone who continues to be a part of our community every day.  I look forward to commemorating this special year with you in style!
