The human urge to innovate is the subject of numerous essays, books, scientific articles and thesis. The title of the exhibition is derived from Arthur Koestler’s 1964 book, “The Act of Creation” where the author explored the processes of discovery, invention, imagination and creativity in humor, science and the arts. In a similar way, the curators of the present exhibition look to create a visual study on 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.

Patchogue’s 2018 Summer Arts Festival

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.

Some Assembly Required

Patchogue Arts Gallery

THE PATCHOGUE ARTS COUNCIL Presents
Some Assembly Required
Curated by John Cino
May 5 – June 17, 2018
Reception: Saturday, May 5, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM

The Patchogue Arts Council is proud to present Some Assembly Required. The exhibition is curated by John Cino and is on view at the Patchogue Arts Gallery from May 5 – June 17, 2018 with a reception on Saturday, May 5, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. The reception is free and open to the public.

Some Assembly Required examines the art of collage and assemblage. In 1912 Pablo Picasso startled the art world by adding physical objects into the painting ‘Still Life with Chair Caning.’ Within a few years numerous artists replied stretching the concept of collage into other media such as photomontage and three-dimensional assemblages.

The artists of Some Assembly Required present a modern face on what is now a century old tradition. Drawn from the metropolitan region the artists in Some Assembly Required work in two- and three- dimensional media to confront contemporary issues or simply lighten our hearts. Artists included in Some Assembly Required are William Aquino, Jon Boyer, Ramona Candy, Elizabeth Castaldo, Eileen Winter Palmer, Elena Soterakis and Dwight Trujillo.

As we celebrate PACs 10th Anniversary, we are also excited to celebrate our location in the heart of Long Island’s first officially zoned Arts and Cultural District! We are proud to serve as the catalyst for innovative reform with our local government.
The impact of the arts on Patchogue’s revitalization is a prime example of what happens when the arts are supported. As noted by the Americans for the Arts in their 2017 published report of the top ten reasons to support the arts; they state that the arts ”Improve individual well-being, unify communities, strengthen the economy, are good for local businesses, drive tourism, and spark creativity and innovation” 
PAC strives to hew to its mission by serving the community with free and low cost imPACtful cultural events, making substantial opportunities accessible for all to experience art.
