The Islip Art Museum is the leading exhibition space for contemporary art on Long Island. The Museum presents five exhibitions a year in its main galleries. Exhibitions are organized to reflect issues and concerns in the current art world.
Exhibitions attract a wide range of the New York and international art world to Long Island. In addition to an ambitious exhibition program featuring contemporary art by new and emerging artists, the museum also presents lectures, fine art classes for adults and children, and workshops and tours for all age groups. The Museum Store features one-of-a-kind craft items, art work, gifts, unusual stationery and fine jewelry.
A landmark structure next to the Islip Art Museum, the Carriage House, is Long Island's center for experimental art. The museum presents three exhibitions a year at this site, including one based on an open call for proposals. Artists are invited to submit proposals in a variety of artistic media for presentation in this building.
The museum also maintain a growing Permanent Collection of works by leading contemporary artists, focusing on those with ties to Long Island. Changing exhibitions are presented in the Permanent Collection Gallery.
