ATTIC ERRATIC Pop-up Art Fundraiser Opens TODAY

In honor of Earth Day, we’ve helped to keep lost and unclaimed art out of the landfills while giving artists a fun new project!

While preparing to relocate for the Riverhead revitalization project, the team uncovered endless lost trash and treasure, including a small room tucked in the attic of the gallery FULL OF ART! 

After archiving and researching, we found some answers but were still left with many pieces with little to no information, and nowhere to go…

ATTIC ERRATIC invited artists of all ages and disciplines to transform this abandoned art, bringing new life into each piece. Collaborating with the ghosts of EEAC’s past. 

Join us for an opening reception from 4-7PM at the 11 West Main St. Gallery.

Most pieces are available for $100 throughout the duration of the two weekend show, with proceeds supporting our gallery relocation.

You never know what you might find!

Your Talented Teen’s $10,000 Awaits

Linda Rie Cohen’s legacy lives on thanks to her biggest fan and our generous donor. We are priviledged to provide this $10,000 award each year to a 16-20 year old in her honor. This unrestricted merit award is chosen by committee based on the creativity, innovation, and hard work of the applicants and is meant to “support the trajectory of a rising star.”

Please join us in thanking Susan Rosenstreich, leader of the LRC Rising Star Award Committee since it began at EEAC, for her service on our Board of Directors. We wish you all the best in your next adventure!
