The Islip Art
Museum
The Leading Exhibition Space For
Contemporary Art On Long Island
The Islip Art Museum is the leading
exhibition space for contemporary art on
Long Island. The New York Times has called
the Museum the "best facility of its kind
outside Manhattan." An ambitious exhibition
program features contemporary art by
national and international artists, as well
as emerging artists from local communities.
The Museum presents five exhibitions a year
in the galleries of the Brookwood Hall
mansion, a landmark estate on Long Island's
south shore. Exhibitions are organized to
reflect issues and concerns in the current
art world. The Museum also present lectures,
fine art classes for adults and children,
and workshops and tours for all age groups.
The Museum Store features one-of-kind craft
items, art work, gifts and unusual
stationery and fine jewelry.
Through its unique Open Call program, the
Museum invites all artists to submit a work
for an independent curator to consider for
inclusion in an annual theme show. This
once-a-year event is a showcase for new
talent in the tri-state area. The Museum
maintains a growing Permanent Collection of
works by leading contemporary artists,
focusing on those with ties to Long Island.
Changing exhibits are presented in the
Permanent Collection Gallery.
The Museum partners with other agencies
located in the Brookwood Hall estate
complex, including the Carriage House, a
workspace for artists. Through a variety of
residence and studio opportunities, artists
are given space, time, technical support and
financial assistance to create new works of
art. The Museum is a division of the Town of
Islip Department of Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Affairs and is managed by the Islip
Arts Council, a non-profit arts agency with
offices in the Brookwood Hall complex.
Permanent Collection
The Islip Art Museum maintains a Permanent
Collection of work in a variety of mediums.
The Collection focuses on contemporary
artists from the Tri-State area with an
emphasis on artists with ties to Long Island
and on artists who reflect the Museum's
exhibition history.
