Long Island Public Arts Festival Huntington - Artist Application

Welcome to the Long Island Public Arts Festival's Huntington Pop-Up!

We are excited to welcome you to a special pop-up event! The Long Island Public Arts Festival (LIPAF) is transforming Heckscher Park in Huntington into an open-air gallery, featuring our striking life-size prisms filled with diverse artworks.

This unique exhibit is produced by the Babylon Arts Council & Colored Colors in partnership with the Huntington Chamber of Commerce.

The Long Island Public Arts Festival (LIPAF) is an immersive public arts exhibition known for showcasing diverse artworks on striking, life-size prisms. This fall, we are expanding our mission to bring beautification to public spaces by partnering with the Huntington Chamber of Commerce for an exclusive pop-up at the historic Huntington Fall Festival.
