Our 2015 Auction On Main – Annual Art Auction Fundraiser was a huge success. This year with over 50 pieces of artwork by as many artists, the support of local businesses, and friends of the Huntington Arts Council we significantly exceeded our financial fundraising goal. Taking place over a two week period in November, the event opened and closed with a gallery reception attended by artists and friends alike. It is due in part to everyone’s ongoing support of this fundraiser that we are able to bring the Exhibition Program to the community. Thank you!

Letter From The Supervisor Dear Friends: “Creative Placemaking” is a very current trend in the fields of economic development and urban planning. It is an evolving field of practice that intentionally leverages the power of the arts, culture and creativity to serve a community’s interest while driving a broader agenda for change, growth and transformation in a way that also builds character and quality of place. In many ways creative placemaking has been an approach that Huntington has employed for decades, long before it became a popular “buzzword.” We have always taken great pride in the numerous artists who have been born or nurtured within our community, and have worked to foster the sustainable growth and development of diverse arts and cultural organizations. This dynamic cultural environment has helped to give Huntington its unique identity as “Long Island’s Cultural Capital.”

Supervisor Frank P. Petrone programs, it also makes good economic sense! Studies have consistently shown that cultural activity has a very strong effect in stimulating activity in other sectors of our economy. It is encouraging to know that by embracing a vibrant cultural community as the heart of our identity, Huntington can be seen as a trendsetter! I invite you to use the information on the pages of this newspaper as your passport to become a part of Huntington’s cultural heart.

Hosting the largest concentration of cultural organizations on Long Island not only helps ensure that Huntington’s citizens have easy access to a wide variety of engaging and enlightening cultural

Sincerely yours, Frank P. Petrone Supervisor Town of Huntington

Boys & Girls Club of Bellport Area -The Wiz

On May 15, 2015, Alexandra Lugten independently released her third fulllength album entitled “Year of Abandon” by playing it in its entirety for the first time at a house show in her hometown of Lindenhurst. From there, Lugten completed a thirteen performance tour across Suffolk County visiting various venues, including the likes of the Ripe Art Gallery, The Basement, The Velvet Lounge, Comiskey Park, Brew Haus, the Islip Art Museum, and two in-studio interviews and performances on Stony Brook University’s radio station, WUSB 90.1 FM.  As Lugten explains, the album “is a kneejerk emotional reaction catalogued in the muscles of our bodies, which remember the physical definition of the word from various moments in our personal histories; sometimes it is the wild impulsiveness of youth and other times it is the renunciation that causes people, places, or things to be left behind.” She is now currently self-booking a world tour, whilst in the midst of finishing her fourth album.

Both organization and artist are supported through the New York State council on the Arts (NYSCA) Long Island Decentralization Re-grant Programs administered by the Huntington Arts Council. For more information about the projects, please visit the Bellport Community Action Committee at http://www.bgcbellport. org/ and Alexandra Lugten at http://www. alexadexa.com/.

Chapin Rainbow Stage Performances: Louise Rogers – “Jazzy Fairy Tales” “Jazzy Fairy Tales” combines jazz music, storytelling and improvisational theater techniques to teach young children music, literature and social skills. The interactive performance utilizes young children’s natural ability to learn through “play.” Swing, boogie and dance as the playfulness of jazz gives original versions of well-known fairy tales new life! Chesky recording artist and music teacher Louise Rogers has a voice that has been described as “pure and incandescent, free of affectation or obvious influence.” (Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times). A published author - Jazzy Fairy Tales Teacher’s Manual, written with Susan Milligan (Alfred Publishing, 2011) with 2 more books slated for publication in 2015 - she is a leader in the field of jazz education. Nat Hentoff has praised her work as “the most joyously encouraging way of expanding the audience for jazz”.
