IN MEMORY OF RUSSELL F. MORAN
It is with heavy heart that we bid farewell to Russell F. Moran, who died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the age of 76.
Mr. Moran was a prolific writer, a Navy veteran, and lawyer. For the past 45 years the Islip Arts Council has been a cultural beacon, offering a broad spectrum of arts experiences to the community. Looking for the perfect gift? It's a Gift Certificate to the IAC Gallery! Great for birthdays and any special occasion.
LOCATION AND HOURS
The Islip Arts Council welcomes enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about the arts. Volunteers will collaborate with staff at the IAC Gallery, represent the Council at concerts and fairs, and assist with important events. Islip Arts Council hosts free concerts that feature professional musicians and local favorites of the highest caliber at venues that include Bayard Cutting Arboretum, the Bay Shore Band Shell, the LI Maritime Museum, and the South Shore Mall. Islip Arts Council volunteers can accumulate hours to earn a complimentary class at the School of Cultural Arts. Individuals can strive to culturally enrich both the community and their personal artistic experience. CLICK HERE to express interest. The IAC School of Cultural Arts offers fine art, music, and yoga classes for adults and children at the IAC Gallery. During the rise of Covid, the School offered online Master Classes which are still available. All classes are taught by professionals in their fields. Members of the Islip Arts Council are entitled to a discount on classes. Islip Arts Council presents shows at the IAC Gallery in the South Shore Mall, and at other locations across Long Island, many of them open calls.

The Islip Arts Council is dedicated to leadership, advocacy, and excellence in the arts. We present, produce, and promote culturally responsive, high quality programs in varied artistic disciplines for our diverse population. Our goal is to facilitate these programs in response to the needs of the Long Island community.
The Islip Arts Council was created in 1974. Two years later, Lillian Barbash was named chairperson, and the Islip Arts Council was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization. Mrs. Barbash also brought the NY Philharmonic to Heckscher State Park more than forty years ago.
