Long Island Fine Art Festival

On May 21 & 22 the spectacular grounds of Eisenhower Park (Kite Field) will host the second Long Island Fine Art Festival. Residents and visitors will have the unique opportunity to enjoy and purchase original, hand-made artwork created by top national and international artisans. Over 10,000 pieces of extraordinary original art will be for sale, including the works of painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers, digital artists, glass, fiber and ceramic artists along with creations in mixed-media, metal, and wood.

 

For two days stroll the verdant fields of Eisenhower Park, warmed by the spring sun while enjoying the breathtaking works of over 100 of the nation’s top artisans, each selected by an independent jury of fine art professionals for the quality and originality of their artwork. Unlike most gallery shows, artists are available throughout the event. This provides a the unique opportunity to meet and interact with the talented creators of each piece. Many of these internationally acclaimed artists are represented in major museums and prestigious private collections throughout the world. The Long Island Childrenʼs Museum (LICM) will host interactive art activities for families during the festival.
