Our Mission
Our mission is twofold: to provide an accessible and engaging arts festival for our community and to create new opportunities for talented local artists. The festival champions inclusivity, embracing both a diverse range of artists and a wide spectrum of artistic mediums. We aspire to expand this festival to feature more life-size prisms and offer expanded summer-long arts programming to further enrich our community through artistic engagement. The Long Island Public Arts Festival will continue to serve as a platform for innovative approaches to community engagement through arts and culture.
