The Islip Art Museum has been called the "best facility of its kind outside Manhattan" by the New York Times, something it certainly lives up to, being the leading space for contemporary art on Long Island. The Museum displays five five exhibits annually that reflect issues and concerns in the current art world as well as four exhibits a year from it's permanent collection. The museum holds lectures and fine art classes for adults and children alike and invites all artists to submit work to the galleries for an independent curator to consider for inclusion in an once-a-year theme show to showcase new talent in the tri-state area.
