Our 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?  Thomas Germano is offering an en plein air workshop next month and we have special watercolor workshops from Antonio Masi and Jan Guarino this spring and summer.We have something for everyone.  You can see our full list of classes here.  And, if you are a fan of our watercolor department, you can travel with the Art League of Long Island and Liz Fusco to Costa Rica in 2026 – see full details here.

Try Nights pick up again in June and we host the Big Ink in October.  Art in the Parking Lot returns in June.  Our next open call for the Long Island Artists show is open now as well.

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.
