Leave your 'mark' on The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts' critically acclaimed Live in the Lobby (LIL) music series by designing its next logo!

Now in its TENTH season, Live in the Lobby is launching a logo competition. The series has earned a reputation as a major Long Island venue for a variety of genres of local original music and has given birth to several  performance events in the PTPA Lobby. In the winter of 2005 a group of volunteers was assembled to present a series of local original music concerts with seating for about 60 and standing room for another 40 around the bar. The concept took hold as singer-songwriters, original bands, and their fans, found a venue that welcomed original music in a comfortable "listening room" setting. With its own sound and lighting, the Lobby became a "venue within a venue," and The New York Times called LIL "A felicitous space for music listening."

Submission deadline is August 19.  The artist selected for the logo design will receive a pair of season passes to LIL 2014-2015.  Inquiries and submissions can be sent to  Christopher@patchoguetheatre.com.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
The Patchogue Arts Council is seeking volunteers, especially for gallery sitting. Send an email to
info@patchoguearts.org with the word "volunteer' in the subject line for more info.

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

Connecting Through Our Stories

The Patchogue Arts Council and Herstory Writer's Workshop invites you to join our ongoing memoir-writing workshop, Bridges To Justice.  Join men and women from all walks of life as they share their true stories about their efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive world.  Erika Duncan, Herstory founder, novelist, and former writer for The New York Times Long Island Weekly, facilitates this free weekly workshop designed to unite and inspire our community.  No writing experience is necessary, simply the desire to connect through your story and the stories of the other participants.   

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.  It was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Knapp-Swezey Foundation, Briarcliffe College, and the New York State Council on the Arts.   For more information, email literaryarts@patchoguearts.com.
