'Art for All' Exhibit at Art League of Long Island

Landscapes and other artwork are on display at the “Art for All” student exhibit at the Art League of Long Island in Dix Hills.

The exhibit celebrates the work created by people served by Bethpage-based Adults and Children with Learning Disabilities, or ACLD.

On Friday, Huntington Councilwoman Susan A. Berland joined Assemb. Chad Luppinaci at a reception for the artists.

This is the second year that the Art League of Long island was awarded a grant to provide workshops for those served by ACLD. The ACLD adult classes, which typically meet one Sunday a month, teach students to create mixed media, charcoal drawings, watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, acrylic painting, and printmaking.

The Sunday workshop series and exhibition of student artwork were funded in part by the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov, Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council, according to the Art League of Long Island.

Additional workshops for the artists were funded by the Women’s Group of the Greens of Melville and Bahama Breeze Island Grille in Lake Grove, according to the Art League.
