The Art League of Long Island is thrilled to announce the selection of four exceptional artists for their Resident Artist Membership Program. These accomplished individuals represent a diverse range of artistic practices and bring their unique perspectives to the program. These talented individuals will embark on a year-long journey of artistic exploration and community engagement, starting on January 1, 2026, and concluding on December 31, 2026. 

The Resident Artist Membership Program offers a unique opportunity for Long Island-based visual and interdisciplinary artists to hone their craft within the inspiring environment of the Art League of Long Island. With a rich legacy spanning over six decades, the Art League has been a nurturing hub for artistic talent, and this program continues that tradition by providing artists with unparalleled resources and support. 

Selected Resident Artist Members will have access to state-of-the-art studios, a diverse array of classes, and the freedom to shape their creative journey through self-guided exploration. Throughout their residency, they will actively participate in community building at the Art League, fostering connections with fellow artists and students. 

One of the program's highlights is the chance for Resident Artist Members to teach a One-Day Workshop to the general public, sharing their unique artistic perspectives and skills with a broader audience. This invaluable teaching experience will help these artists further develop their abilities and give back to the artistic community. 

As part of their membership benefits, Resident Artist Members will receive 50 free hours of class time per semester, helping them expand their skill set and knowledge. Additionally, they will have unlimited access to available studios, including specialty studios such as ceramics and jewelry, after receiving necessary training.
