Bethpage Federal Credit Union Honors LI's Art and Culture

Cynthia Marie Saturday, October 6, 2012

In a community event to showcase the importance of culture, arts, and music, Arts Alive LI, under the auspices of The Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA), officially launched today with a press conference at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. The Bethpage Federal Credit Union is the presenting sponsor of the 2012 Arts Alive LI, October’s month-long celebration of the vibrant cultural offerings available to visitors and the people who live in Long Island, NY.

The event was attended by Bethpage President and CEO Kirk Kordeleski and representatives from the region’s cultural scene, invited guests, media partners, Long Island Community Foundation, and local officials. Kodeleski has been a long time supporter of Long Island cultural initiatives and has served on several boards within this community. At the event he stated;

“As the President & CEO of Bethpage Federal Credit Union for 12 years, I’ve been privileged to represent our members in promoting the welfare of our region and the benefits of living here. The arts are essential to our community spirit and contribute to our economic well being.  I encourage everyone to take advantage of the world-class events occurring simultaneously across Long Island during October’s Arts Alive LI.”

As a way of welcoming the press and dignitaries, LIAA Executive Director Theresa Statz-Smith described the festival as “an appreciation of Long Island as a cultural destination with great art, music, theater, film, events, and festivals.” In addition to artists and representatives from the arts, American Idol contestant and Long Island native Jerome Bell sang the National Anthem.

To promote Arts Alive LI, Bethpage will sponsor and and play an active part in several different events throughout October including the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s Sky Planetarium Kids Event October 6; the Long Island Children’s Museum Puppet Show & Workshops October 20; and the Patchogue Arts Festival October 21.
