The 66th Annual Artists on the Lane exhibit took place on July 4 in Bellport. Sponsored by the South Bay Art Association, the event featured local artists working in many different mediums. The Association was founded in 1956 as a not-for-profit organization to encourage the education, creation, and appreciation of the arts. They host and participate in a number of community events to support local artistic talent, as well as work with other local groups to expand art education and issues that affect the surrounding communities. “Our vision is to create a welcoming environment for all creatives, of all skill sets, that celebrates our community and continuing education of the visual arts,” explained President Jacquline Dupre.
The Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society also took the occasion to host its annual Antiques Show on the Lawn at the Post-Crowell House. Many items from the area’s rich historical heritage were on display.
