East End Arts Diversity Statement
Diversity (the state or fact of being different) may be challenging in the more conventional areas of life, but in the arts being different is cherished, nourished and encouraged. East End Arts knows the diversity of our community is a fundamental strength of our region. We believe when diversity is embraced as a value and practice both the artist and the arts flourish. To make diversity a core and abiding strength is our immediate goal. East End Arts looks forward to welcoming, supporting, advocating for and inspiring new artists willing to explore their own diverse identities. It's our mission and our privilege.
Additional gallery exhibit opportunities are provided to East End Arts members at satellite locations: Rosalie Dimon Gallery at the Jamesport Manor Inn, and Riverhead Town Hall gallery space. These exhibits provide area artists with crucial opportunities to display their works to art collectors on the East End.
Programs at the East End Arts Gallery are made possible by public funds from the New York State Council of the Arts, Suffolk County under the auspices of the Office of Cultural Affairs, County Executive Steve Bellone, and the Town of Riverhead.
