Greetings!  

 

As we reflect this week on what we are all thankful for, the Trustees of the Patchogue Arts Council would like to thank you for all of the support that you have given to us and the organization again this past year. The Patchogue Arts Council would not be able to fulfill its mission to support, encourage, and promote the arts without you. 
 
Please know that our hearts and thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this time. Many in our community are dealing with challenges from the storms earlier this fall. The Huntington Arts Council compiled a list of resources for artists in need during this tough time which you can access by viewing their newsletter here. In addition, New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) announced last week the creation of an emergency relief fund to support individual artists in all disciplines impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The application will be posted on www.nyfa.org and www.artspire.org beginning November 21, and submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. The program will be open to artists residing in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. 

Sincerely, 
The Patchogue Arts Council Board of Trustees

Call for Artists:  The Ones that Got Away: Celebrating Long Island Artists
The Mills Pond House Gallery January 12 through February 8, 2013
We all know that we submit some of our favorite works to a juried art show, yet they just did not catch the eye of or hook of the one doing the judging. We also know how subjective and difficult it is for a juror to acknowledge so few art works from so many other fine works. The Mills Pond House Gallery wishes to give these artists an opportunity to display work  that has never captured any award, recognition, or prize in any show, despite the artists' pride in their work.  Entry deadline November 30, 2012, $15 entry fee, prospectus at www.stacarts.org/exhibits/show/65, for more information call 631-862-6575 or email gallery@stacarts.org.
 
 
Call for Artists:  Reflection, A Juried Fine Art Exhibit
The Mills Pond House Gallery March 23 through April 26, 2013
Reflection can be either a physical or psychological phenomenon. Together they evoke the interplay between perception and conception. Entries will be judged on the originality and insight with which they embody this theme visually in traditional as well as new media. Entry deadline February 1, 2012, juror: James H. Rubin, $45 for 3 entries, prospectus at www.stacarts.org/exhibits/show/67, for more information call 631-862-6575 or email gallery@stacarts.org.
Patchogue Sketch Club
The Patchogue 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.

For more information about upcoming sketch outings and gatherings visit their blog at
