An art exhibit featuring local landscapes and natural elements of eastern Long Island is now open to the public at the North Fork office of Group for the East End (54895 Route 25, Southold). Featured artists are donating 30% of their art sales to the local nonprofit, which is dedicated to protecting and restoring the environment of eastern Long Island. Members of the public can view and purchase artwork from Monday through Friday, between 10:00AM and 4:00PM or by appointment, through Labor Day.
“Anyone is invited to stop by and see nine beautiful works by Cynthia Loewen, Joan Tripp, Phyllis Chillingworth, Mary Milne and Gene Samuelson. These East End artists find their inspiration in the local environment, so if you love the East End, you will enjoy these paintings and glass works,” said Judy Christrup, Director of Development at Group for the East End.
