Participating Artists - Patchogue Arts Biennial Oct 3-24

The Patchogue Arts Biennial will be held Oct. 3rd to Oct 24th in Briarcliffe College’s 12,000 sq. ft. exhibit hall. It will be the largest art exhibition of its kind ever staged on Long Island.

Forty-four [44] artists representing a broad cross-section of artistic creativity will each be given space to exhibit a representative body of work. The artists come from the entire island, Brooklyn to the East End and range in age from 25 to 80.

All forms and media currently in use from the traditional charcoals and painting to multimedia installations will be on display. Artist’s subjects range from landscape and portraiture to the nonobjective or conceptual. Viewers will surely see work that conforms to and expands their definition of art.
