People come together to explore thoughts and experiences that may or may not be like their own. Museums are meeting and gathering places for everyone, of all ages and backgrounds. It also makes new foundation and grants funding available. Museum classification heightens featured artists’ exposure, attracts expert guest curators, and opens the door to borrow world-class works of art from established museums, galleries, and private collections to exhibit them in Patchogue. We provide viewing of world-class art on Long Island. PAC’s Gallery has credibility as a space that presents high-caliber exhibitions locally on Long Island. PAC’s opportunities for artists’ career development is contrary to traditional arts councils’ operations. Rather, we give stipends to exhibiting artists to help cover the costs associated with the creation of new work. We don’t charge artists to submit or participate. The caliber of career-enriching opportunities that we provide to Long Island-based artists was previously unheard of in Suffolk or Nassau County. Through our exhibition programming, we support, promote, and encourage early, mid-career, and established artists that work in all media and all walks of life. We are striving to create inclusiveness in all of our opportunities, particularly for Long Island’s Spanish-speaking communities. Our main areas of focus are to make current and contemporary art accessible to everyone and to serve artists across Long Island. PAC has always been unconventional in comparison to other arts councils. Redefining PAC’s exhibition space from a gallery to a museum will exponentially increase opportunities for the community and artists we serve. But, they do so with very different goals. For many, this may seem like a simple name change. Museum of Contemporary Arts Long Island, or MoCA LI, is the newly defined exhibition space of the Patchogue Arts Council (PAC).
