WE NEED YOUR HELP! 
Deadline to Respond: Friday, April 19 at 11:59PM
 

Dear Artists,

 

Are you wondering how to get more people to see and value your work? East End Arts is committed to the growth of its artists in all areas. This is why we've decided to begin planning a professional development program, which aims to bring out each artist's inner entrepreneur. We've enlisted the help of a few creatively-inclined MBA students from Stony Brook University who have put together a survey meant to gain insight into the professional needs of our artists.

TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY:  CLICK HERE

By filling out this short, easy survey, you are helping East End Arts to understand the types of programs we should be offering our artists.

 

Many thanks!

East End Arts

A Message from our friends at the Suffolk Theater...

 

Dine with Us. Wine with Us. And be Entertained!

After many years of hard work, the Suffolk Theater in downtown  Riverhead has finally re-opened. The theater first opened in 1933 with great fanfare, and now in 2013 ... eighty years later ... there's even more excitement as this beautiful art-deco cinema has been restored to a cabaret style performing arts center. The Suffolk Theater is on Main Street. And the beautiful electronic marquee lights up downtown Riverhead, serving as a beacon for first class entertainment. 

Almost every night has something exciting and interesting and wonderful to experience. This is nightclub style theater.

For the complete schedule of concerts, movies, musical and theatrical events check out suffolktheater.com.

Click on the title above to see the first installment featuring local photographer Meryl Spiegel's Scissored, from her Phantoms series. Patch is looking for artists to participate. All you need is a jpg of an image of your work (size: at least 72 dpi, at least 6 x 6 inches) and a paragraph describing what you were thinking when you created the artwork. Email the image and descriptive paragraph with your name, town of residence, name of the work, medium, and artist website to Meryl Spiegel: meryl@merylspiegel.com.
