FOR ORGANIZATIONS & FAMILIES
SUMMER 2026 ARTS CAMPS & PROGRAMS
Long Island Arts Alliance is compiling a Summer Arts Camps & Programs Guide to highlight arts learning opportunities across Nassau and Suffolk Counties and help families discover local options that fit their interests and budgets.

From libraries to live performance, historic sites to heritage festivals, and teaching artists to major cultural institutions, Long Island’s creative sector shapes everyday life across Nassau and Suffolk. It fuels economic activity, strengthens local businesses, supports jobs, and enriches the communities we call home.
Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) serves as the region’s arts service organization — connecting and representing cultural organizations, artists, and creative businesses through advocacy, research, professional development, and strategic convening.
We invite you to be part of a coordinated creative ecosystem that advances economic vitality, innovation, and community wellbeing. When the arts are strong, Long Island is stronger.
