Reviewed and curated by PAC • MoCA L.I. curatorial staff
Our curatorial staff has extensive experience in creating exhibitions for regional, national, and international venues including alternative spaces, university galleries, private galleries, and museums.
Creating substantial opportunities for contemporary artists to exhibit their work is part of the reason the Patchogue Arts Council was created. We are always in search of new satellite spaces and funding to help artists share their work with a broader audience. There are never any fees to submit or present work, as PAC believes that there shouldn’t be financial barriers to participation.
We are all artists too, and look forward to seeing your work! Currently we are accepting artist submissions for the following locations. Please keep in mind we curate 1.5 – 2 years in advance.
MoCA L.I. Main Exhibitions • Museum of Contemporary Art L.I. | 20 Terry Street, Patchogue
Pop Up Exhibitions @ MoCA L.I. • Limited slots between main MoCA L.I. exhibitions | Solo or group exhibitions
