Announcing! Paper Cup Studio opens in Bellport!

Opening July 25, Reception Friday, July 31, 7PM.

At the gallery we are proud to announce our first exhibit the “Paper Cup Exhibit” and Patchogue Sketch Group with “Everyday Life."

The Patchogue Sketch Club, under the umbrella of the Patchogue Arts Council, was created in 2009, for the purpose of getting people together to discover the value of sketching. Sketching itself is its own art form, sketching helps artists "see" better and enhances drawing skills. Sketching is also a fun way of recording the world around us much more intimately than a camera.

Don’t stand in one spot in town for more then one minute or you will be in their sketch!

The Paper Cup Exhibit is an installation of local artists that are collectively part of an amazing creation of art that represents this gallery's mission
“Artists Working Together”
