The Art League of Long Island is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to broad-based visual arts education, providing a forum and showcase for artists of all ages and ability levels. Since its inception in 1955, the mission has focused on enhancing Long Island's cultural life by promoting the appreciation, practice and enjoyment of the visual arts. Collaborative events and outreach programs spread the joy of creativity among every segment of the population. The Art League offers more than 250 visual arts classes in a large variety of mediums to adults, teens, and kids ages four and up. Classes, workshops, and open studios are offered to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students year-round, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Students can register at any time throughout the year. Art Educators come to the Art League on Election Day for Professional Development Workshops and can also attend regular sessions to keep abreast in content area. We are CTLE certified. Also available are workshops for individuals with developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and at-risk teens. In addition to the myriad art classes, the Art League also hosts exhibits in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery, special events, lectures, and performances.
