EEA HAPPENINGS:

FEBRUARY 2024

RED IS THE COLOR OF COMMUNITY

Many thanks to the 99 EEA Member artists who made this year’s Elizabeth Richard Memorial Members’ Show a most powerful exhibition!

This annual exhibition is vital because it embodies the mission of EEA by bringing together a diverse group of artists within our community who possess an array of skills and express a variety of voices while exploring a single theme. ‘Well Red’ showcases quality works from many new Members alongside those whose involvement spans years and even decades.

Up Next: A Solo Exhibition by Anne Sherwood Pundyk: Beauty Out of Bounds, Opening March 23rd. Details to come!

TEENS RULE!

Imagine a mosaic, not just of tiles, but of aspirations and expressions. In schools across our community, students come together, each contributing their artistic vision to create a mosaic portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. or another Civil Rights leader. Each school’s collective effort culminates in a striking piece of art. While created independently within their own high schools, these pieces unite in a grand exhibition – the MLK Portrait Gallery Show. Here, the story of collaboration, learning, and artistry is told school by school, piece by piece.

Opening Reception:

Friday, March 1 | 4PM-7PM

EEA Art & Music School [141 E. Main St., Riverhead]

Visit the MLK Portrait Gallery Show and help these portraits find new homes to benefit art scholarships!

Nothing is quite as powerful to development as mentorship, the EEA Music Masters Mentorship Program brings together high schools students from various towns for an intensive learning and performance experience.

This program remains tuition-free thanks to continued sponsorship by

Harlan & Olivia Fischer.

Twenty local high schools are vying for nominations in the 2023/2024 Teeny Awards, and their performances promise to entertain and even awe. These performances are open to the public and are a great way to have a fun, affordable outing, all while supporting local rising stars.
