A Message from the Supervisor

“Welcome to Islip, the 3rd largest town in New York State, but with an endearing small town feel. We are so proud of our town…our beaches, golf courses, marinas, parks, housing opportunities for all, businesses, industrial parks, healthcare and educational institutions including our own Islip MacArthur Airport that provides many job opportunities. I sincerely hope you find this website helpful.” Angie

<Student Art Shows 2024

Every Spring BAFFA showcases the artwork of the local area’s elementary, middle, and high schools. This year the exhibits begin on March 2 and 3 with artwork by Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point elementary schools. Artwork by Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point Middle School students will be featured on March 16 and 17. Both exhibits can be seen at the BAFFA Art Gallery from 1 to 4 PM on those weekends. The exhibits are open to the public and are free. We hope the young artists’ moms and dads, siblings, uncles and aunts, and grandparents will stop by the Gallery to view the children’s artwork.

The annual Juried Invitational High School Art Exhibition will take place on April 13 and 14 from 1 to 4 PM. Twelve area high schools will be represented in this year’s exhibition. They are Bayport-Blue Point, Bayshore, Bellport, Brentwood, Commack, Connetquot, Eastport-South Manor, Longwood, Patchogue-Medford, Sachem East, Sachem North, and Sayville. This is always an exciting show with some of the best artwork by local high school students. Among the prizes to be awarded will be the Jacqueline C. Palmer Award, the Olivia and Harlan Fischer Award, and two awards from Women Sharing Art. The award ceremony will take place on April 13 from 2-3 PM. The show is open to the public and is free.

The BAFFA Art Gallery is located in the Gillette House at 47 Gillette Avenue in Sayville. For further information: (631) 589-7343 or www.baffa.org.
