Many artists whether professional or novice are inspired by nature. Our Back to the Bays Initiative invites you to participate in our educational and fun art & science, ArtSea sessions and programs which raise awareness for marine species that our marine scientists at CCE work with here on Long Island. Create + Sip NightsThese crowd-pleasing ArtSea Sessions allow guests to learn about our local marine environment while creating a marine inspired work of art! Proceeds directly support CCE's Back to the Bays Stewardship Projects. ArtSea Create + Sip Nights feature a variety of projects using different mediums. The projects range from your typical “paint & sip” acrylic painting on canvas to a a project off the beaten path with an assemblage of broken shells! Ideal settings for this event include restaurants, wineries and breweries, or cultural centers. On the evening of the event, CCE Marine Program Educators provide a brief presentation on the topic or species at hand, and then a professional artist guides even the most novice artists in creating a work of art inspired by the presentation. We provide all materials, and can accommodate up to 30 participants. Show your patrons or friends you care about our local waters by hosting one, or a series of ArtSea Nights!Buoys for the BaysThe Buoys for the Bays Art + Science Initiative is designed to raise awareness and funding to support the work of Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program! Participants will be guided through the steps to create a marine-themed painting on a reclaimed fishing buoy at workshops throughout the year or local artists can pick up a reclaimed buoy to Buoys will be displayed in special exhibitions in collaboration with partnering entities, then auctioned off in support of our bays.Art + Awareness EventsWe team up with local artists and a local craft beverage producer such as a brewery and vineyard, to help draw attention to the importance of preserving underwater and coastal habitats. Artists create work inspired by these essential habitats, and the marine creatures that rely on them, for exhibit and sale. Exhibit opening celebrations are displayed throughout the year and proceeds from all sales will support local artists as well as the preservation and restoration efforts of CCE Marine Program. If you have a project idea or topic you would like us to create a project for please reach out ArtSea director Carolyn Munaco.Schedule of Events Date Event Description Time Place Price Link 4/26/2025 Quogue Wildlife Rescue Join Back to the Bays at Quogue Wildlife Rescue's Earth Day Celebration and learn how to support our restoration efforts 12-3pm Quogue Wildlife Rescue Register 5/7/2025 Macroalgae event Special Event 3:00 PM Duck Creek FREE Register 5/8/2025 ArtSea Create & Sip Horseshoe molt 6-8pm Cowfish Restaurant $40.00 Register 5/13/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuedsay Nights Horseshoe molt 6-8pm Tiana Bayside Facility $40.00 Register 5/29/2025 Kid Squidd B2B Brew Release Special Event/Fundraiser 5-7pm Kidd Squidd, Sag Harbor 6/7/2025 Rose for the Bays Release Party / Field Guide Release Special Event/Fundraiser 5pm Borghese Vineyard $0.00 Register 6/13/2025 Buoys for the Bays Painting Workshop 1 Painting/Outreach 5-7pm Borghese Vineyard 6/17/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuedsay Nights Sea Turtle moasic 6-8pm Tiana Bayside Facility $40.00 Register 6/19/2025 ArtSea Create & Sip + pro Scallops 4:30-8pm The Station $40.00 Register 7/9/2025 ArtSea Create & Sip Oysters 5:30-7:30 The Station $40.00 Register 7/11/2025 Buoys for the Bays Painting Workshop 2 Painting/Outreach 5-7pm Borghese Vineyard 7/17/2025 Buoys for the Bays Opening Celebration & Auction Special Event/Fundraiser 5:30pm Borghese Vineyard 7/22/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuedsay Nights Seahorse mobile 6-8pm Tiana Bayside Facility $40.00 Register 7/23/2025 ArtSea Create & Learn - TBD 8/7/2025 Montauk Yacht Club Oyster Happy Hour Special Event/Fundraiser Montauk Yacht Club 8/12/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuedsay Nights plaster whale medallion 6-8pm Tiana Bayside Facility $40.00 Register 8/13/2025 ArtSea Create & Sip Seahorses and eelgrass 5:30-7:30 The Station $40.00 Register 8/21/2025 Back to the Bays Beach Bash / 10 Year Anniversary Special Event/Fundraiser Tiana Oceanside 9/11/2025 ArtSea Create & Sip Clams 5:30-7:30 The Station $40.00 Register 9/16/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuesday Nights puffer canvas 6-8pm Tiana Bayside Facility $40.00 Register 10/21/2025 ArtSea Tiana Tuesday Nights Scallops 6-7:30pm Tiana Bayside Facility $35.00 Register Carolyn Munaco, cjm427@cornell.edu, 631-852-8660 Registration: https://backtothebays.org/artsea ========================================= The Art of Saving Seeds Thursday, August 21, 2025 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm Hauppauge Public Library, 1373 Veterans Memorial Hwy , Hauppauge, New York 11788 This year's seeds can be next year's bounty.

Artists create work inspired by these essential habitats, and the marine creatures that rely on them, for exhibit and sale. Exhibit opening celebrations are displayed throughout the year and proceeds from all sales will support local artists as well as the preservation and restoration efforts of CCE Marine Program.
