The Art of Creation;
From prehistoric pottery to gothic cathedrals, from ancient jewelry to medieval poetry, from French rationalist philosophy to rock music and contemporary fashion industry, mankind is constantly creating and making something new.

The human urge to innovate is the subject of numerous essays, books, scientific articles, and theses. The title of the exhibition is derived from Arthur Koestler’s 1964 book, “The Act of Creation” in which the author explored the processes of discovery, invention, imagination, and creativity in humor, science and the arts. Similarly, the curators of the present exhibition look to create a visual study on the creation and creating by exploring all aspects of the act and art of making/creating, starting from the individuals as creators through the creative processes to the final results.

It Takes a Village

The PAC Sketch Club was created for the purpose of getting people together to discover the value of sketching. Sketching itself is its own art form, sketching helps artists “see” better and enhances drawing skills. Sketching is also a fun way of recording the world around us much more intimately than a camera.

The Patchogue Arts Council, Inc. (PAC), a non-profit arts organization committed to the encouragement, support, and promotion of the arts within the greater south shore of the Town of Brookhaven, is excited to announce its E Pluribus Unum Festival Season 2018.

What: Patchogue Arts Council E Pluribus Unum Festival Season 2018

When: May – October 2018

Where: Participating locations throughout the Village of Patchogue

Cost: Free and open to the public

 The E Pluribus Unum Festival Season 2018, (EPU) will celebrate the concept of unity from diversity in varied media and disciplines including visual arts, dance, music, film, and video in multiple venues in downtown Patchogue from May through October.

E Pluribus Unum translates as “From many, one”. It was first conceived when the states numbered 13, thus composed of thirteen letters. The original meaning of the phrase suggested that 13 unique and individual states were united to form a single union. The US now has more than 13 states, but the meaning remains true. A land of immigrants, the United States is ethnically diverse and as a result has become a robust and thriving nation. The concept of creating unity through diversity is not only found in the political sphere. Biologists know that a healthy ecosystem requires a diversity of species, and every art student learns it as the first principle of design; a unified work of art is created through the harmonious combination of all its elements.

This year PAC has created a diverse and culturally enriching season of programming. The E Pluribus Unum Festival Season will kick off with an opening event called “A Night of Dance”, hosted at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (date / time tba). From the lobby to the main stage we will celebrate the E Pluribus Unum Festival Season with a curated selection of contemporary performance, culturally inspired dance, music, and art.

Throughout the festival season a series of exhibitions is planned in multiple venues throughout the Village of Patchogue, including public art and sculptural installation in the Patchogue Garden Club garden. In addition to planned film screenings and nights of live music and performance our signature event, Arts on Terry, will also take place during this year’s E Pluribus Unum Festival Season.

The Patchogue Arts Council in partnership with Artspace Patchogue Lofts, Patchogue – Medford Library and The Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce will present the third annual Arts on Terry contemporary art fair on June 24th from 12:00- 6:00 PM

Arts on Terry is a contemporary art fair for all ages highlighting 200+ artists from a variety of Long Island Arts organizations, each exhibiting a curated selection of works representing its respective community in 10 different pop up galleries. AOT will also include a full day of art exhibits, demonstrations, live painters, family friendly participatory activities, live music, poetry, and performances, all on Terry Street. This event along with many others will be free and open to the public.

Are you excited to be a part of the Patchogue Arts Council E Pluribus Unum Festival Season 2018? Sponsorship opportunities and calls for artists will be released over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

It promises to be a spectacular event, with wine, gourmet food and , of course, artists done up in the height of surrealist style.
We hope you can join us in celebration and in honor of Karen Ferb.
Karen has worked tirelessly to make life in Patchogue better and brighter. Her contributions to PAC, as well as other Village organizations, have had considerable impact on all of us, and we in PAC wish to honor her for her efforts and elegance. Her sense of civility and civic responsibility has set a standard that we all wish to emulate.
