Life on Long Island – What Does It Mean To Me?

Making ART may be a wonder drug that keeps people young and active as they age. Georgia O’Keefe painted till she was 99. Pablo Picasso kept reinventing his art into his 90’s and Grandma Moses started painting seriously when she was 78. Their art frequently reflected their lives and environment. In this exhibition, Islip Art Museum and AARP present art that reflects life on Long Island.

Exhibition: Dec 6, 2019 - Jan 6, 2020

Opening Reception: December 6 / 6-8pm

Afternoon Reception: December 7 / 2-4pm

Curator: Holly Gordon

All About Bob Artists Talk Nov 10

Please join Franklin Hill Perrell, co-curator of the upcoming exhibition The Seasons at the Nassau County Museum of Art, Joyce Beckenstein, art critic/writer, and artists Glen Hansen, Cliff Baldwin and Adam Straus for a raucous discussion that will connect the dots about the legendary TV painter Bob Ross, as well as providing enlightenment about the ALL ABOUT BOB exhibition. The discussion will center on what it is that makes Bob Ross an artist of such high or low regard depending on which perch one is looking from and the controversial nature of his legacy in terms of the world of high art. Learn about what inspired the exhibition, and how the individual artists decided to respond. Refreshments will be served.

Please RSVP by emailing Adam Straus at adamstraus57@aol.com
