Executive Director…
New York State Cultural
Tourism Initiative Grant
Dear Friends,
This will be short and
sweet, my space has been cut
due to the abundant articles
in this issue! To say we have
been busy is an understatement. I hope to see you this
summer at a Wine Press
Concert… a Summer
Class… a Gallery reception… Secret Garden
Fundraiser… a workshop…
Renaissance Kid Camp… or
maybe having a relaxing picnic on the grounds. Don’t
forget our annual members
meeting, August 23rd ; A
chance to share with you an
overview of the past year and
talk about plans for the
future. We will ask you for
your input … have some fun
too!

The Long Island Wine Country
Winter Festival targets overnight visitors
to Eastern Long Island during February 2006.
Through the purchase of a “passport” visitors
will be directed to a fully integrated schedule
of events that create “experiences” which
have been developed around themes suited to
the time of year. Businesses will be offering
deals and discounts to passport holders.
Recognizing the economic impact of the arts,
the arts will be an integral piece of the program. We are planning to include artists of all
disciplines to be actively involved by performing or presenting in as many venues as
possible. Area performing arts organizations
have committed to being participants, by
offering special discount
or incentives
in connection
to their programming during this time.
This program expands on the Winter Wine
Month Passport initiated by the Long Island
Wine Council through the addition of cultural
activities and broader target audiences.
The project is coordinated by the East End
Arts Council and The Long Island
Convention and Visitors Bureau. Lead partners include: Suffolk County Office of Film
& Cultural Affairs, Long Island Convention
& Visitors Bureau, Long Island Wine
Council, Hamptons Visitors Council,
North Fork Promotional
Council and Alison Hurt, proprietor of Alison Restaurant .

The second Southold Town Hall
Annex show, in the North Fork
Bank building on the corner of Rt.
25 and Young’s Avenue, will feature the work of Robert Wilson, a
Sag Harbor artist and member of
the EEAC. Mr. Wilson moved to
the East end of Long Island from
Michigan 4 years ago after a career
in advertising in Detroit. He is currently Art Director at the
Robert Wilson with his work at
Southampton Press. The show runs the Southold Town Hall Annex
from April until June 30, 2005. All Gallery
photos will be for sale.
“I have been studying nature (especially birds) for 25
years. I have a lifelong interest
in fine art and so, inspired by
the spectacular natural beauty
of the East End’s bays, marshes,
dunes and beaches (and by my
knowledge of Photoshop from
my advertising days), I began
taking digital photographs about
2 years ago. My photos are
about the tension and contradictions in nature as well as the
Joan Fabian with a pot she painted beauty.”
The second Riverhead Town
for EEAC Secret Garden 2004
Hall show will feature the work
of Joan Fabian, a Cutchogue artist. The show, entitled “Oil
and Water”, features Ms. Fabian’s artwork in both oil and
watercolor media. The show runs from June 1-August 31,
2005.
The reception is scheduled for Tuesday June 7 from 57pm, just prior to the Town Board Meeting. All are invited.
The Riverhead Town Hall is on the corner of Howell
Avenue and E. Main St..
The sea, the shore, and her garden on the North Fork are
constant sources of inspiration for Ms. Fabian. Educated at
the School of Visual Arts and SUNY/Farmingdale, she has
had many one woman shows in New York and New
England as well as group shows. She is a member of the
Rhode Island Watercolor Society, the Old Town Arts and
Crafts Guild in Cutchogue and the East End Arts Council.
Ms. Fabian will donate 10% of the sales in the show to
Maureen’s

local churches
which provides

School News
he School of the Arts ends a very successful
spring semester on June 13. Thanks to our wonderful, well-respected music faculty we broke a
record with over 200 private music students enrolled. If
you’ve visited our school on a weeknight lately you
know how sounds of music seep from every room and a
constant stream of instrument carrying students of every
age, and patient waiting parents, file in and out. The
whole building is filled with life and the joy of music.
This semester we welcomed Erik Blydenburgh to our
music faculty. Erik teaches drums, classical guitar and
piano, and also plays the Renaissance lute, which we
have yet to get a request for, but there’s always a first
time. He holds a BA and MA in Music Performance as
well as teacher certification in both New Jersey and New
York. Erik and his students have settled in nicely and he
already has a full schedule on Monday and Friday afternoons.
Not only do we have an exceptional faculty, but also
some very talented students. Donna Roitstein, from
Nancy Baxter’s song writing class, has recorded her own
CD “Songs for the Animals”. To find out more go to
www.songsfortheanimals.com. The song writing class
will continue through the summer for all additional
aspiring songwriters.
Many talented students will perform at the school
recitals, which will take place at Riverhead Free
Library on Friday June 10 at 6PM, Saturday
June 11 at 10:30AM, 12:30PM and 2:30PM,
Friday June 17 at 6PM and Saturday June 18 at
11AM and 2PM. All recitals are open to the
public and everyone is welcome.
We’ve seen an increase in our adult art student body over the past year and to meet the
demand we are offering several exciting adult
art classes in the summer. There is truly something for everyone. Check out the school flyer,
www.eastendarts.org or call us for more information. The summer semester starts July 5, and
in addition to adult classes we also have child
art, early childhood music, private lessons and
Renaissance Camp.
Last, but not least, the whole staff and faculty wished Ranny Reeve, jazz musician and
storyteller extraordinaire, a very happy 80th
birthday on May 21. Ranny’s connection with
the Community School of the Arts, and before
that the Eastern Suffolk school of Music, goes
back further than anyone’s, and he’s sure to outlast us all. Congratulations and Best Wishes
Ranny from all of us!

2005 24th Annual Congressional Art Show
2005 24th Annual Congressional Art Show “An Artistic
Discovery” is coordinated by the Members of Congress and sponsored locally by Congressman Tim Bishop, East End Arts Council
and St. Joseph’s College. This nationwide competition encourages
and promotes talented high school art students and gives them an
opportunity to show their work in a special exhibit in Suffolk

the Long Island Academy, Beth Giles, director of the Avram
Gallery, Southampton College and Rani Carson from Suffolk
County Community College.
This year the exhibit was hosted by the Selden branch of the
Middle Country Library, in the Teen Center and ran from April 11May 1, 2005. At the reception in Selden, May 1, Congressman
Bishop and Pat Snyder, EEAC Executive Director, gave certificates
to each artist in the show and the awards to the winners.

Winter and
Spring Break
Program for
Kids
Each winter and spring during the
school break, the EEAC arranges for
vacationing students to visit the Gallery
as part of the Contact! program. This
year, 75 children, ranging in age from
2-14, searched the gallery exhibit “The
Sky’s the Limit” for rainbows, night
skies, fireworks and more as part of the
Contact! Scavenger Hunt Game.
Favorite pieces from February’s “Sky’s
the Limit” exhibition included Anna
Jurinich’s acrylic piece “Once I Lived
There”, Pamela Morgan’s oil on canvas
“Skyline” and Patricia Wiegand’s
“Fireworks.” When asked why she
chose Marylou Stewart’s “Love-Lee” as
her favorite piece, Kelsea Cassone, 8
years old, responded, “because it shows
that a child has love in every hand.”
The spring Contact! featured the
Community School of the Arts’
Summer Camp Open House and artists
talks by the three artists featured in our
Three Views Installation Show: Marie
French, Beth
Giacummo and
Clayton Orehek.

AWARDS
The guest jurors select the work that will be
included in the juried shows. Each juried show
will have a BEST IN SHOW Winner, who
will participate in the 2006 Winners Show.
Thoughts from the curator
The questions, “Why didn’t my work get in?” and “Why can’t I have a critique of my work by
the juror?” have been asked by a few artists who have entered shows recently at EEAC.
Feedback from our members is important to all of us at EEAC and these questions are valid
ones. Any artist, myself included, wants to know the reasons why their work was not accepted
by the particular juror. Equally important is why it was accepted by the particular juror.
Each month, the EEAC offers members and non-member artists an opportunity to show
work to a different guest juror.These guest jurors donate their time and are committed to the
EEAC mission of encouraging emerging artists. Often, they see an artist’s work and subsequently
offer the artist an opportunity to show at their gallery.
The jurying process is very time intensive which does not allow the jurors to critique each
piece. Each work accepted by the juror has these main components:
—expertise with the particular media
—a personal touch, be it joyful or profound in other ways
—a professional level of presentation: general good, clean craft and “finish” in execution of idea
in medium of choice, ie: good quality matting, framing, canvas stretched evenly
—and jurors have often told me that they “hope to see something which they’ve never seen
before”.
Our shows have also become more competitive as the EEAC membership has grown.The number of submissions for each show has dramatically increased. Recently”Matters of Men” drew 236
entries which had to be reduced to 74 pieces, a final number which features the work well in our
space.We look at a large quantity of work on jurying day.
Many of your questions can be answered by attending the reception and/or seeing the show to
get a sense of the guest juror’s taste and how your particular work connects (or not) with the
particular work submitted and juried in. Some of the jurors do come to the reception and will
answer questions.
See you at the Gallery, Daphne Shuttleworth, Curator
First, Second, Third Place and Honorable
Mentions are also awarded.
OPENING RECEPTIONS
Opening Receptions for all shows are on the
day the shows open: Fridays, from 5-8 PM. If
there is a change due to unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather, we will do our
best to notify our members and artists included in the show.
Please note: Dates are subject to change
due to unforeseen circumstances. Always
check the individual prospectus for each show
that is mailed to all members six weeks in
advance. Additional information and any
changes regarding each show will be provided
at that time. Information is also available on
the East End Arts Council website,
It is best to email your questions to the
Gallery Curator at [email protected]

SPRING 2005 WORKSHOP SERIES
Digital Issues Workshop
On Tuesday, April 19, Jeff Cully, of
the Photory, in Hampton Bays, gave a
presentation on digital printing for
artists. Mr. Cully set up his scanning
hardware, a custom camera back, to
demonstrate techniques and explain
terminology. Mr. Cully discussed inks,
papers and background information on
industry standards. Key
points in
reproducing
artwork
include the
level of
archival and
image quality
desired by the
artist, the amount of time required to
learn how to reproduce your work on
your own computer system, and the
value of edition printing.
The artists who attended made suggestions for future “Digital Issues” topics
at EEAC workshops, such as marketing
your work, Photoshop tips, and how to
explain the value of a digital print to a
potential buyer.
DIGITAL ISSUES WORKSHOP
Part Two - Tuesday, June 28
from 5-6:30pm at the Gallery
Image reproduction and marketing
on the web for artists will be a focus in
a presentation by Don Leverich of
RedArt Digital. He also plans for a
question and answer forum as part of
the workshop.
The fee for the workshop is $5 for
EEAC members and $10 for non-members.
Pre-registration and payment in
advance is required. Limited seating is
available.
To register, please call the
Community School of the Arts (631)
369-2171.
Dear Esquire
ART AND THE LAW
EEAC is pleased to offer its members an ongoing legal
forum and column advising members on critical issues and
topics by Christopher Ross, Esq., an attorney specializing in
sports, entertainment and art. Our thanks to Mr. Ross for
his support of the arts community.
Dear Esquire,
I am part of a not-for-profit artists group which is
making a calendar of its artwork. Most of the artwork was sold at a fundraiser and I was wondering
who has the reproduction rights for the sold artwork. Would it be enough to credit the owners of
the artwork? Or maybe the owners don’t want the
exposure? Should we just approach them privately
and is that enough protection for us artists? And if
we were a profit-making group, would it make a difference in this situation?
Dear Non-profit,
First and foremost is the copyright always remains
with the artist or creator unless there is an agreement to transferring the right to another. So if, you
have the permission of the artist in writing you have
no issues. Just because someone owns the painting
does not suggest or imply that they have the reproduction rights. These guidelines are equally applicable to non-profit and for profit.
Please send your questions to “Dear Esquire” via
[email protected] Questions will be selected
from those submitted and should be as general as
possible, as this will not be legal advice.
