Dozens of Fresh Village Canvases Debut This Afternoon
Sea Cliff, NY · October 3, 2026
Easels are packed away, but the paint is barely dry: this afternoon brings the results of that village-wide painting sprint to Roslyn Avenue.
The Lead
Following two weeks of artists setting up easels along village sidewalks, harbor bluffs, and Victorian porches, the Sea Cliff Arts Council opens its annual Paint Sea Cliff exhibition this afternoon at 86 Roslyn Avenue from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Dozens of local and regional painters submitted newly finished original works capturing everything from steep winding stairways to late-afternoon light over Hempstead Harbor. Today’s opening reception features an awards presentation for top honors and opens the gallery floor for public purchase, with 25 percent of all art sales directly supporting community programming. For neighbors who watched artists capturing their front yards and street corners in late September, this afternoon offers the first look at the finished canvases all in one place. Doors open at 4:00 PM, with the competition winners announced shortly after.
