Opening October 1, 2022

The Long Island Biennial, a juried exhibition featuring exceptional art from contemporary artists across Suffolk and Nassau Counties, has announced the final list of 2022 exhibiting artists.  This year, 248 artists submitted 723 works of art for consideration. The jurors selected 95 artworks by 57 artists for inclusion in the exhibition.

The exhibition represents living artists on Long Island communities stretching from Freeport to Huntington to Sag Harbor.  As initiated in 2020, many artists will show two or three artworks, presenting viewers with a fuller picture of their recent work.

Launched in 2010, the Long Island Biennial offers Long Island’s professional artists a singular opportunity to share their work through a prestigious exhibition, and provides a unique and exciting space for visitors to see a snapshot of contemporary art on Long Island.

The jurors for the 2020 Biennial are Heather Carter, the founder of Carter Fine Art Services (CFAS);  Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso, a fine artist known for her homage self-portraits of historical women artists and narrative paintings; and Susan Van Scoy, Ph.D, an Associate Professor of Art History at St. Joseph’s University, Long Island, where she teaches courses on the history of photography, and American and Modern art.  Learn more about the jurors.

“We were so impressed with the entrants’ mastery of techniques, use of innovative materials, and engagement with contemporary issues such as the pandemic, climate change, and social justice,” said Van Scoy.  “It was difficult to narrow it down. We aimed to provide a balanced exhibition with figurative, conceptual, and abstract works–paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs, you name it—it will have something for everyone.” Congratulations to all the exhibiting artists!
