2023 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Art League Of Long Island To Host Workshop Series On LGBTQIA+ Art, Literature

MARCH 18

APRIL 1

The Art League of Long Island is proud to announce a workshop series exploring LGBTQIA+ art and literature led by queer artist Liv Cocozza (he/they). The workshops are sponsored by the Huntington Arts Council. The workshop series will take place on Saturdays from April to June and will culminate in an exhibition of works created during the workshops. All sessions are free and open to the public, and will take place in the Art League’s Jeanne Tengelsen Gallery.

The first workshop, “Queer History,” will take place on Saturday, April 1 from 1pm to 3pm. Students will learn to use symbols and visual cues to signal LGBTQIA+ history in their artwork while making abstract and symbol-based works of art.

The exhibition, which will showcase works by the instructor and the students who have attended the prior workshops, will run from June 17 to July 29 in the Art League’s Strolling Gallery.

Liv Cocozza is a talented artist whose work explores the relationship between intimate queer experiences and the vulnerability of navigating medical and political spaces as a transgender person. Liv’s practice is highly influenced by queer political and art history, acknowledging the labor and efforts of those who came before them in queer and trans liberation. Liv aims to use the public paradigm of queerness, and their intimate experiences of queerness to form a path to a restorative future.

APRIL 7

The second workshop, “LGBTQIA+ Words,” will take place on Saturday, May 20 from 1pm to 3pm. Students will read excerpts of Queer writers’ current and past and create their own writing and visual books called zines. The final workshop, “Queer Art,” will take place on Saturday, June 10 from 1pm to 3pm. Attendees will learn about the current movers of Queer visual language and create a collaborative art piece to encapsulate the workshop series.

These programs are made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and is administered by the Huntington Arts Council. To register for the workshops, visit the Art League’s website: www.artleagueli. org/lgbtqia-workshops.
