About Us
THE SPARK
When a few folks met around a kitchen table to talk about how to cultivate the art
scene in Patchogue, little did they know that they were to about to play an integral
role in the cultural renaissance of their community. However, with the launch of the
Patchogue Arts Council, the contagious enthusiasm and dedication of the founding
members created an extraordinary organization that is now engendering an optimism
about Patchogue and serving as a model for arts groups across Long Island.
The Patchogue Arts Council (PAC) provides artists of all mediums with opportunities
to share their work, network with other creatives, and participate in arts advocacy
initiatives. In addition to supporting a variety of artists and art forms, The Patchogue
Arts Council also works to engage a diverse audience from all walks of life. By
presenting a broad range of programs, we hope to ignite the creative spirit of Great
South Bay.
ABOUT PATCHOGUE
Nestled on the shore of the Great South Bay, midway between Montauk and
Manhattan, the Patchogue Village enjoys a restored 90-year-old performing arts theatre,
Artspace development, numerous galleries, live music, vibrant and varied restaurants,
microbreweries, and modern media. With a walkable downtown, affordable housing,
easy access to Fire Island and NYC, it’s no wonder that artists are flocking to
Patchogue.
