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.

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. Three Babylon High School students, Maggie Higgins, Chandler McMillan and Jillian Gaare 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 exhibited their work at the 9th Annual Outdoor Art show entitled “Art by the Falls” on May 21,2016 in Argyle Park which provided interaction with the public. Their work will be displayed at Astoria Bank as part of the Rotational Art Program. 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:
Justine Lomenzo
Babylon Village Art Council's featured September artist for the Rotational Art Program is Justine Lomenzo . She began painting in 2008 and resumed her art after a three-year hiatus. Her paintings have been exhibited in shows on Long Island and in Florida. Always interested in art, Justine was drawn to painting as a medium for her creativity because of the opportunities for expressing herself with color and light in the seascapes and landscapes surrounding her homes. In order to continually improve her techniques and mediums, she has taken workshops with Ramiro (Southampton); Timothy McGuire (Amagansett, Sag Harbor and Quogue); and Regina Stark, Rita Ziegler, and William McCarthy (Vero Beach).
Location: Astoria Bank
180 West Main St., Babylon N.Y.
