About the Babylon Village Arts Council……
The Babylon Village Arts Council was formed in 2003 by a group of village residents who recognized the need to present various art experiences to the Babylon Village community. From that vision the Babylon Village Arts Council (BVAC) has become an integral part in the cultural lives of its residents.

Art Partnership Program
The Babylon Village Arts Council is proud is announce an art partnership program with the Babylon High School Art Department to foster the love of art in the next generation. Two Babylon High School students, Allis Van Rossem (grade 10) and Julia Drake (grade 12) will create works of arts with supplies provided by the Babylon Village Arts Council in the amount of $200 per student .Under the guidance of Cheryl Schweider, art teacher at Babylon High School, students will learn time management skills, budget constraints, and design options. To experience a real life art exhibit each participant will exhibit their work at the 12th Annual Outdoor Art show entitled “Art by the Falls” on May 18, 2019 in Argyle Park which will provide interaction with the public. Their work will be displayed at Sterling National Bank as part of the Rotational Art Program. during the month of June. This program is funded through membership and donations. If interested in sponsoring this program for next year, consider becoming a member. Keeping the arts in the forefront benefits the community in positive ways and fosters a love for the arts for all ages.

| On Friday, Nov. 13, The Babylon Public Library held a reception to thank the Bell family for their donation of a baby grand piano. The Friends of the Babylon Library and the Babylon Village Arts Council were also instrumental in the transportation and restoration of the piano.
This project is evidence of a partnership between three community groups to restore and transport a beautiful piano for the Babylon community.
I want to thank our members for their continued support and though your support this project was made possible for the Babylon community.

Rotational Art Program
features BVAC artist members for a month long exhibit
Featured Artists for the Month:
Danielle De Santis
Babylon Village Arts Council is proud to present Danielle DeSantis as April's Rotational Artist at Sterling Bank located at 180 West Main Street.
BVAC ’s featured artist at Sterling Bank is Danielle DeSantis, a Long Island based assemblage/mixed media artist, born and raised on Long Island. She was blessed with a mind that has an urge to constantly create, a body that can not sit still and a soul that is always open to new and exciting things. Most of her ideas are inspired by music, movies, the mind of a child and other artists. She became fascinated with mixed media art ten years ago by accident when she ran out of paint. Ms. DeSantis loves the challenge of creating something out of nothing. “I’m a little odd and so is my art.” Visit Sterling Bank located at 180 W. Main Street to view her work through April.
Location: Sterling National Bank
180 West Main St., Babylon N.Y.
