This program is part of PAC’s 2018 imPACtful connections: Island wide networking for creatives and supported in-part with public funding provided by Suffolk County.

This special programing will consist of five Slide Slam events serving as a catalyst to help unify LI’s creative clusters by creating numerous substantial opportunities for artists through collaboration with other organizations, curators, collectors, arts professionals, and collectives.

Drawing Conclusions

Patchogue Art Gallery’s 2018 calendar draws to a conclusion with Drawing Conclusions opening on November 10. The exhibition will remain on view through December 23. There will be an artist’s reception on November 10 between 5 and 7 pm. All are welcome to this free event.

Drawing Conclusions, curated by PAC senior curator, John Cino features the work of Oreen Cohen, Karine Falleni, Jeanne Heifetz and Katherine Kaiser. Drawing Conclusions through installation and technique stretches the concept of drawing beyond its traditional uses.

Oreen Cohen references New York School painting as she creates monumental gestural drawings with the strength and power of abstract expressionist painting. Looking to a more recent genre Karine Falleni turns the walls of the gallery into her drawing surface. Falleni’s works straddle the space between performance and installation. Katherine Kaiser’s large format drawings are both intimate and monumental. Making use of a tightly rendered line quality often associated with a smaller scale Kaiser pulls you into a detailed world of obsessive abstraction often associated with Post Minimalism. Jennifer Heifetz nods to the Minimalists and Conceptual artists with an installation of grid within grid. In her Pre-Occupied series Heifetz creates rich surfaces of powdered pigment and graphite through rubbing and burnishing imparting a leather like surface to the paper. Heifetz truly draws conclusions as her images reveal site plans for cemetery plots.

While each artist finds references in past traditions of modernism, they all carve out for themselves a unique place where drawing becomes something more.

The Art of Creation

The Art of Creation
September 8 – October 21, 2018
Reception: September 8 from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Patchogue Arts Council is excited to announce The Art of Creation, PAC’s first international exhibition curated by Bruna Justinić, art historian and independent curator – Croatia, John Cino, sculptor and curator Patchogue Arts Council – USA Beth Giacummo artist and Patchogue Arts Council Executive Director – USA. This exhibition will be on view from September 8 through October 21, 2018, at Patchogue Arts Gallery. A reception will be held on September 8 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM, followed by garden Sessions; a free evening of cross-cultural music from 7:00 – 9:00 PM, taking place just beside the Patchogue Garden on the corner of Terry Street and South Ocean. Both of these events are free and open to the public as part of the Patchogue Arts Council E Pluribus Unum Festival season.

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.

Adeyeye Sandra (NGA)
Babaahmadi Fereidoon (IR)

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.

Patchogue’s 2018 Summer Arts Festival

https://patchoguearts.org/wp-content/uploads/PAC-2018-Events_5.8.pdf

 

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!
