Art League of Long Island

The Art League of Long Island’s juried exhibition “Motion in Art and Art in Motion” challenged artists to submit their artistic interpretations of motion in 2-D or 3-D mediums. Exhibition Juror Marina Press selected 60 works out of 400 submissions from artists residing in Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn, and Queens who responded to the challenge.

The exhibit is on view in the Art League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery March 28 through April 24, 2016. The artists’ reception takes place Sunday, April 3 from 1pm to 3pm.
