About
Children's Art Programs at Gallery North include hands-on activities in watercolor, life drawing, encaustic, paper making, silkscreen, and other printmaking processes. These programs take place in The Studio at Gallery North, which is a collaborative, 1500-square foot, open studio space for all members of the community to enjoy. Founded in 1965, Gallery North is a not-for-profit gallery with 501(c)3 status and a mission to present exhibitions of contemporary artists and crafts persons, to assist and encourage artists by bringing their work to the attention of the public, and to stimulate interest in the arts by presenting innovative, educational programs.
Gallery North is located in an 1800s farmhouse on a 2.5 acre campus within Setauket’s Historic District, and its signature programs include the Wet Paint Festival and the annual Outdoor Art Show and Music Festival. The Wet Paint Festival is a celebration of plein air painting and allows the community to observe some of Long Island’s top plein air painters as they capture the area’s historic and natural beauty. Gallery North’s annual Outdoor Art Show and Music Festival is a two-day event that has been running for over 55 years, attracts 10,000 visitors each year, and includes approximately 100 exhibitors from across New York State and the East Coast. The organization’s leadership includes Edward (Ned) Puchner as Executive Director, Nancy Goroff as President, Neil MacDonald as Vice President, Alex Badalamenti as Treasurer, Stephanie Gress as Secretary, and Larissa Grass as Director of Education, along with additional board members and staff in education, exhibitions, development, communications, and support roles.
