Four local artists have been selected by the Art League of Long Island to become the newest group of the league’s Resident Artist program.

Michael Krasowitz of Huntington, Christophe Lima of Queens, Sam Neukirch of Selden and Huntington Station’s Tara Leale Porter have been chosen to join the program, which was established in 2018 and is designed to provide Long Island artists with skill-building and community-based opportunities to further develop their visual arts careers.

The program provides those selected 150 hours of free class time, an exhibition opportunity, collaborative projects and teaching opportunities over the course of their year-long membership, which began on June 1 and runs through May 31, 2020. At the conclusion of the artists’ membership, they will be given the opportunity to teach a one-day workshop in the summer of 2020.

An event to meet the four artists chosen to join the program and learn about their artistic processes will be held on Thursday, August 22 at the Art League of Long Island, which is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills. The event is free and open to the public.
