Art League to host day of family fun

The Island Now

The Art League of Long Island is hosting what is expected to be the first of many annual Inbeon Con’s on Long Island on Saturday, Dec. 13.  

Inbeon Con is a day of family-friendly activities where visitors can connect with and support local New York artists, attend panels, participate in family play contests and take advantage of kids’ art and creativity room.  The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Workshops and panels will cover everything from character/creature design to self-publishing.  There will be cosplay contests where one can win free prizes for best costume, as well as cosplay photo shoots. Original art will be offered through comic art auctions or purchase works shown by guest artists.  

Guest artists scheduled to appear include: Eric Hutchison, Ryan Browne, Jim O’Riley, Will Falcone, Tom Travers, Kelly Gordon (a.k.a. McKel Supreme), Jennifer Scrimenti (a.k.a. J Scribble), Rebecca Fedun, Jason Pittman, Desiree’ Pittman, Derwin Roberson, Jorell Rivera and David Miller.

Inbeon Con was created for artists by artists with a focus on education to succeed in the fields of both fine and commercial art.

A portion of the event’s proceeds goes to support the Art League of Long Island, a not-for-profit art center serving Long Island since 1955.  

Tickets can be purchased at the door for $25, $20 if purchased in advance online at https://inbeoncon.com.  Children under 10 are FREE with an adult ticket.

The Art League is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills. For more information call (631) 462-5400 or visit www.artleagueli.org.
