About Huntington Arts Council (from their site) OUR MISSION The Huntington Arts Council enriches the quality of life of Long Islanders with programs and services that address the needs and interests of artists, cultural organizations and the community. The Huntington Arts Council, a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, promotes arts and culture generated by Long Island artists to our children and to the general population. We work to enrich the cultural, social and economic life of the community by nurturing the professional development of artists, and by providing timely news and events via Arts Cultural News (circulation: 90,000). Our Arts-in-Education program reaches 35,000 children annually through our partner school districts. We also offer artistic programs and services to our more than 100 cultural organization members who encompass the broad spectrum of arts disciplines. The arts are an important reason why Long Island is increasingly recognized as a great place to live, work and conduct business. The arts generate jobs and wages, millions in annual direct spending, and millions more in terms of indirect spending by people drawn to attend cultural events in our community. The Huntington Arts Council plays a leading role in sustaining the economic benefits of the arts through its promotion of activities and events in our community. The arts create a vibrant, energized, and culturally rich community. Since it was founded in 1963, the Huntington Arts Council has inspired and aided the growth of hundreds of art organizations and individual artists now flourishing across Long Island. The Huntington Arts Council celebrates the diversity of Long Island’s cultural resources through sponsored activities, programs and publications that advocate cultural awareness and education.

Come Out to Play - Mixed Media on canvas by Anahi DeCanio Not totally certain of the exact definition of Serendipity, unless of course, you’re thinking of the fabulous frozen hot chocolate served at the namesake place in New York City. I spoke to several friends who gave me a variety of interpretations. But…I’ll backtrack. I was supposed to “Come Out to Play” this past Saturday to attend a closing reception for “Abstract Women”. The group exhibit was an all women show curated by Mary Cantone, Director and owner at William Ris East Gallery in Jampesport, NY. The show included my artwork (Anahi DeCanio), and the works of Martha McAleer, Anne Franklin and Marilyn Weiss. As it turns out, literal matters of the heart prevented me from from going and attending the reception. As I was facing a few very unexpected life detours I got an email from a friend. “Congratulations on you making the cover of The Independent!” Yes! There it is… My definition of Serendipity… This was a busy social week in the Hamptons. The always amazing landscape architect on a mission to protect us from “Come Out to Play” Mixed media on canvas by Anahi DeCaniopesticides, Edwina von Gal, had a fundraiser for her fabulous organization PRFCT Earth Project with non other than Deborah Harry as entertainment. There were beautiful horses (and people) wrapping up the The Hampton Classic and art exhibits all over town, including one curated by Pamela Willoughby and Julia Keyes benefiting ProjectMost, a project near and dear to my heart which focuses on providing needed services for children on the East End. So I must admit it was a big surprise to see my painting on the cover. The timing could not have been better. And last but not least – William Ris East has been in the art world for 50 years but it is brand new to the North Fork. This is a perfect time to follow the Long Island wine trail on the East and pay them a visit! The gallery is located next to the Sherwood House Tasting Room. So stop by to meet really nice people, view great art and enjoy a glass of wine! The heart matters had a great outcome and are fortunately behind me but the smile from the cover still remains! Thanks to the team at Hampton Daze and The Independent, a wonderful source of all things Hamptons, for the smile and the cover! To view the entire publication, please click HERE!

One of the pieces on exhibit, is a specially made ottoman called the Time Capsule. Naula and Ascalon created this piece with a core of reclaimed magazines to replace the wood structure that would otherwise be needed to build this type of furniture. The foundation for this idea is that many years from now, when magazines, paper publications, etc. are a thing of the past, this capsule project has recorded a moment in time from our generation for a future generation to one day discover. Activities are planned throughout both days with local purveyors of the best natural products from the East End setting up on the Ashawagh lawn. Meet award winning artists and artisans along with the best of local earth friendly vendors such as Hamptons Handpoured. In addition to outdoor vendors and Earth Day related activities, Toni Germie of Benjamin Moore will be making a continuing education unit presentation on color and sustainability practices, which will be tailored to interior designers but also of interest to the general public. Master printmaker Dan Welden will be making a presentation and teaching eco-friendly techniques for art print making. We have a few more surprises in store! Spring is a wonderful time of year to visit the area. Gardens and fields will be flourishing but the shops and restaurants will be easier to navigate before the Summer crowds arrive.
