The Darcy Center for the Arts
Our new art center on the 2nd floor of The Firefly Artists

Firefly is so excited about our new expanded gallery space called the Darcy Arts Center. The new space will host workshops and classes with world renowned artists. We are currently running Zoom workshops, but look forward to adding in person events later this year.

The beautiful space is filled with natural light and will be home to special exhibitions like juried shows, member exhibitions and is also available for rent for art shows. But the most exciting addition will be an opportunity to expand our opportunies for local artists by adding The Darcy Arts Center Memberhip. Over the past 10 years, Firefly has been able to serve well over 250 artists by displaying and selling their art in our main galleries and our pop up galleries around Long Island. In our continued quest to serve the local art community, we are offering our Darcy Arts Center Membership that includes discounts on juried exhibitions and gallery rental; inclusion in member shows and special members-only events/lectures; and other perks. Contact us for more information.

What some of our students have to say about our workshops

Just wanted to let you know that Andy Evansen's workshop was wonderful. ClapBlushNot only do I appreciate his looser painting style (if only I could paint looser...lol) but he is a good teacher...explained what he was doing and why... and repeated it so we had a chance to really grasp it. Cant wait until we can do an in-person several day workshop with him..

Thank you and the Firefly for arranging this workshop and others. It is greatly appreciated.

Painterly yours, Toni

Thank you Jan for bringing yesterday’s amazing workshop to us. Although I have heard everything Andy had to say before in different workshops, it is finally starting to make sense. Andy has a unique way of making these concepts palatable. He is really a great teacher. This workshop inspired me to take out the books I’ve collected on watercolor painting and to revisit and practice all of the techniques I’ve learned and forgotten along the way. I am also going to make a concentrated effort to do value studies as they are so important to beginning painters such as myself. I can’t thank you enough for mentoring and nurturing me as an artist. I am forever grateful!

Angie
