Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Scholar-Artist Awards
LIAA's Scholar-Artist Awards program recognizes students judged to be “the best of the best” on Long Island in both academics and in the arts. At the annual Scholar-Artist Awards Gala, students, families, schools and educators are honored to underscore and support the quality arts education programs in Long Island’s schools. LIAA partners with LIU Post to offer scholarships to qualified honorees. The LIAA Scholar-Artist Program is presented by the New York Community Bank Foundation with support from Arts Reach Fund at Long Island Community Foundation. The program is produced in cooperation with Newsday.
Arts Education Roundtable
The LIAA Arts Education Roundtable brings together school arts educators, quality arts presenters and providers of supplemental arts programming to support full-time arts teaching and supplemental arts programming in schools. Recent workshops focus on helping educators utilize the arts in designing lesson plans that meet Common Core requirements. The LIAA Roundtable series is produced in cooperation with the New York State Board of Regents and BOCES. The 2014 - 2017 Roundtable series is supported, in part, by a grant from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and a 2015 grant from Capital One Bank.
LI Arts Map
The LI Arts Map is the only comprehensive printed map featuring Nassau and Suffolk counties’ arts and cultural sites and venues. This colorful, oversize, folded tourist map is a superb way to reach a large audience of locally targeted individuals who are looking to explore what Long Island has to offer.
LIAA distributes 50,000 free copies to over 500 locations from Manhattan to Montauk. An online version on the map will is posted to LIAA and other partner websites which is an interactive and ‘clickable’ resource for users on their phones, tablets and computers.
