Dear friends,

Thank you for continuing to support the Art League of Long Island.  Now that we have reopened and our regularly scheduled classes, exhibitions, and events return to our calendar, we are thrilled to see all of your smiling faces in our building.

I want to take a moment to thank each student for providing constructive feedback in our evaluations of our classes.  Your comments help us make decisions on how we can developour offerings.  Know that I am happy to meet with you to address your concerns or to hear your comments on what we are doing well!

This month brings a joint exhibition to the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery.  On the first floor, we celebrate Stephen Hopper: Painting with Light and on the second floor an exhibition from our Printmaking & Collage instructors and students.  On May 18th, we celebrate the opening exhibition from Scott Duffy & Friends.

This month brings us special workshops including Painting Bold with Watercolor with Antonio Masi,  the ART of Healing for Veterans, First Responders and their Families with John Mellilo, Smart Phone Photography with Holly Hunt, and Flower Washes with Lorraine Rimmelin.  Continue to look for our Create Nights with Rob Stenzel on the final Wednesday of each month.  May’s theme is The First Pride was a Riot.

We also welcome back Jen Salta and Rachel Kalina to our Metalsmithing Department!  Now we are offering a true beginners class and other workshops for our students.  And registration is open for our Summer Art Adventure and Intensive Pre-College Portfolio Program, now offering more options for enrollment.

Any way you slice it, there’s an avenue at the Art League to bring out the artists in all of us!  I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Best,
Marianne Della Croce
Executive Director

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.
