Nearing its 60th birthday, the Art League of Long Island in Dix Hills has become one of the most important visual arts centers on the Island. Their latest exhibition, Earth and Water: An Exhibition of Ceramic Arts and Watermedia had eight local artists working in clay or water-mediums. The diverse pieces included an operating fountain, wall installations, bas-relief forms, ash glazes, acrylic “drip” painting, watercolors and plein air works. artleagueli.org
