Art League of LI Launches Signature Matching Gift Campaign
Donations to Not-for-Profit to be Doubled by Philanthropists Olivia and Harlan J. Fischer

After 16 years at its current location in Dix Hills, the Art League of Long Island is in the midst of major upgrades to its facility housing nine art studios and bi-level atrium style gallery. Thanks to a grant from the New York State Dormitory Authority the Art League has taken steps towards many needed improvements. However much more still needs to be done. The Signature Matching Gift Campaign aims to address additional structural and programmatic needs by asking the community to donate funds to this thriving not-for-profit visual arts center. Through the generosity of Art League Board President Harlan J. Fischer and his wife Olivia, all donations between now and July 15, 2019 will be matched, up to a maximum of $25,000.
Community members can donate to the Signature Matching Gift Campaign by calling (631) 462-5400 x227 or visiting the donation page at www.artleagueli.org. The public is welcome to stop by and visit the center to view exhibits on view in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery and Strolling Gallery.
Established in 1955, the Art League is a not-for-profit visual arts center whose mission is to provide a forum and showcase for artists of all ages and ability levels, whether through art education in the studios or exhibition opportunities in the gallery and art fairs. Artwork on display in the gallery is available for purchase. The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery is open free of charge Monday through Thursday 9am – 9pm, Friday 9am – 4pm and weekends from 11am – 4pm. The Art League is located at 107 East Deer Park Road, in Dix Hills. For more information visit www.artleagueli.org or call (631) 462-5400.
