Almost 600 New York State-wide Submissions to Art at 50 Plus Virtual Art Exhibition at the Islip Art Museum

 

The Islip Art Council and Islip Art Museum, AARP-sponsored Art at 50 Plus NEW BEGINNINGS exhibition has taken virtual exhibits to new heights and achieves an intimacy beyond expectation. Enjoy the show. You may find yourself saying that it is way better than you imagined!

 

Creating this virtual exhibit was a trail-blazing event for all involved. The nearly 600 artists who submitted their work to be part of this event are to be commended for embracing the challenges of technology. 

 

Curating an exhibition is a complex task and a work of art unto itself. Individual pieces must relate and be woven into a visually cohesive entity. The work selected needed to encompass New York State and the ages 50-90+ as well as cover all levels of artistry from beginners to life-long artists… and then videographer Waldo Cabrera used his artistry to create the video that will be viewable starting September 15, 2020.
