The first stage in creating a work of art is the idea. Next comes deciding how to realize it. While there are many steps in the development of a painting, only the last one—the finished product—is visible. In a mixed media work, however, the process—the steps along the way—can be seen in the finished product. In other words, “What you see is how it got there.” This exhibition invites the viewer to witness the individual processes of eight very different artists.

Running through October 31^st in the Art League's newly renovated Bryant Library Gallery in Roslyn, "Floating, Mapping and Landing" explores the concept of the elusive self. In the words of artist Carol Vollet Kingston, "Our Selves may not be always interesting. Or comforting! We seem, sometimes, to dissolve into our environment - yet to remain, still ourselves: rising, falling, fearing, resting - floating!" Meet the artist at the opening reception on Saturday, September 27^th from 2 - 4 PM and visit http://www.carolkingston.com/ for more information about the artist.

This year more than 500 students registered for a summer of creativity!  If your family has never participated in this fun-filled program, call the Art League to talk to our camp staff so you and your youngster can see what is available for next summer.

 

Last week students and faculty members of the former Stevenson Academy in Oyster Bay gathered for the first time at the Art League to attend classes under the aegis of the League. Concieved as a 'school within a school' Stevenson class offerings will be open to both new and current Art League members and students and registration for upcoming classes is now open at the League's registration desk and by telephone.

We're proud to announce that the Art League has taken first place in the Best Art School category of the Best of L.I. series sponsored by the Long Island Press. While we here at the League have always known we were the best, it's great to be acknowledged by a major publication and supported by so many of our students and friends. We had some stiff competition, among the ten nominees were Usdan and Stevenson Academy. Our congratulations go out to our Faculty, Board and volunteers who help us bring the joy of visual arts to students from all over Long Island everyday.
