Greetings!
Projections: New Installations by
Michelle Carollo and Jason Paradis
Patchogue Arts Gallery, 20 Terry St., Patchogue Artist Reception: Saturday, May 3 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Through June 21
Projections features site-specific installations from the artists Michelle Carollo and Jason Paradis. Each artist begins on the wall with paintings that migrate or project into three-dimensional space. Site-specific installations are unique to the space they occupy and cannot be replicated elsewhere. Michelle Carollo makes drawings, sculptures, and large installations of abstract, colorful forms in the interest of creating room-sized, three-dimensional abstract paintings. Her work blurs the line between the illusionary space found in a two-dimensional abstract painting and the physical space an individual occupies. Jason Paradis contemplates the fundamental mysteries of life and the existence of something larger. His interests lie in the moment where the past, present, and future collide. Elements of his current environment, laced with reflection, memory, and speculation, are filtered through his layered approach to art.

REDACTED: Connecting Dots in a Shifting Field
April 13 - June 1, 2014
Reception May 4 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM
Curated by Janet Goleas
REDACTED is an exhibition concept encompassing the sort of editorial decisions that are manifest in myriad representations such as literature, current events, historical documents, and aspects of contemporary life in general. "Redaction," is often used synonymously with the term "censorship" and has a complex meaning. Literature can be morphed, history rewritten, entire hypotheses thwarted or converted through multiple redactions. The visual brain can be upended with disarming, often thrilling, results. REDACTED examines how revamped visual information can variously disguise, alter, enhance, or camouflage the meaning of a painting, sculpture, video, or photography.
Annual Open Call 2014
Mash Up: Collages in Mixed Media
June 29 - September 14, 2014
Curated By Stephen Lamia, Ph.D. (Dowling College)
It has been slightly over one hundred years since Picasso and Braque experimented with the then new art form called "collage." To mark that ground-breaking innovation, the Islip Art Museum announces its Annual Open Call for artists to contribute work displaying this century-old art form. As has been previously done, we are calling upon the global community of artists to submit work for an exhibition featuring collages in mixed media. This exhibition promotes and encourages artists to employ both conventional and unconventional ideas about collages, especially those that incorporate two or more media. Visit islipartmuseum.org for more information.

Born in 1990 on Long Island, David Cappella is an award-winning artist who graduated from FIT with a degree in Applied Science. Multi-talented, he also has a background in textile design, photography, and fashion buying. Cappella describes his artistic process in his own words as, "[looking] around the world at the ground, at the sky, and the trees, I find my line work from nature. The way I apply paint is with a sponge brush. I add paint to the canvas in a cave-man approach letting the process of how the paint sticks to the canvas be the result." Gallery 125 is located at 125 South Country Rd, Bellport NY. For more information email gallery125@optimum.net.

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

The Bridges To Justice workshop meets every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to Noon at the Patchogue Arts Gallery located at 20 Terry St. in Patchogue.
