University has opened the third in the 2001 series of community art exhibits
titled "Standards of Excellence" which features student art work
from Hewlett/Woodmere School District and St. Peter of Alcantara School
in Port Washington. Students artwork will be showcased through April 30,
2001 in an exhibit co-sponsored by Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
The Long Island Art Teachers Association has organized the exhibits for display in the Patron's Lounge (Room W1) of Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, located on the C.W. Post Campus on Northern Boulevard (Route 25A) in Brookville. The exhibits rotate every six to eight weeks. The project expands the Institute's mission of making the arts an integral part of the lives of Long Island University students, faculty, staff, and the public. "These exhibits have brought together C.W. Post and the Long Island community in a special way," says Andrew Berger, Director of Education and Outreach for Tilles Center. "It is simply inspiring to see the work of these young artists." The opening reception will be held Saturday, March 31, 2001 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Tilles Center where teachers, parents, and students will be present. The exhibition is free and open to the public. |
