The Artists Group is a collection of creative individuals who have come together to bring artwork to the general public whether they want to see it or not.
To promote the connection between artists and their communities, to enhance the relationship between art and society and to reinforce the historical importance art has played in the fabric of civilization.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a fringe festival, it started life in 1947 when eight theatre companies turned up uninvited to the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival. These groups aimed to take advantage of the expected large theatre crowds to showcase their own, alternative, theatre. The Artists Group, a Hicksville, Long Island based association, with its own history of multi- artistic events has brought fringe to Long Island.
