OUR
STORY

East End Arts & Humanities Council strives to unite and enrich communities of Eastern Long Island through gallery exhibition, art & music education, opportunity, and events.

OUR MISSION

We are a cultural engine located on the nexus of the two Forks of Long Island that enhances local community, tourism, collaboration, and artist initiatives. We work with creative experts in order to offer programs that are both inspirational and aspirational. We embrace being located in a unique up-and-coming area and are a powerful catalyst for economic and cultural revitalization in Downtown Riverhead as we strive to build the historic Arts District of the East End.

ABOUT EAST END ARTS COUNCIL

We are the third oldest art organization on Eastern Long Island. Our location between the North and South Fork allows us to connect and empower artists not just here in Riverhead but throughout the East End. We are rooted here on Main Street, where we collaborate with local businesses, nonprofits, schools, civic groups, and government.

We build community, through visual arts, music, literary arts or digital media. We host community events, fine art exhibitions, offer arts and music education, and open art and music studios.

UNLOCKING CREATIVITY EVERY YEAR

  • 22 gallery shows in multiple locations showcase community talent, provide presenting opportunities for roughly 800 artists in all disciplines, and serve as a destination for art lovers throughout the area.
  • 15 events celebrate the rich multi-disciplinary artistic background of the region.
