YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING
GOOD TASTE BREWING ON L.I. BY B I L LY F I T Z PAT R I C K Hot weather across Long Island is the perfect weather to be enjoying a few cold beers (if you’re of legal age, of course) and the region is home to plenty of local breweries worth checking out. Besides just beer, these locations offer weekly events as well as special events throughout the summer months and can be found across both Nassau and Suffolk Counties. So whether you’re going out simply for a few drinks or you’re doing it for the experience, here are a few locations to look into: Nassau County Barnshed Brewing: Located at 100 Lauman Lane in Hicksville, Barnshed Brewing is a smaller brewery just minutes from both the Bethpage and Hicksville LIRR stations. Barnshed has events going on all year long such l h as trivia twice a month and seasonal events, including an annual cornhole tournament and Summer Fest at the end of the summer, Halloween Bash, Drinkin’ with Lincoln, St. Patrick’s Day and the brewery’s Anniversary Party in May. Owner and head brewer Bryan Murphy says Barnshed typically has between 10 and 12 beers on tap, with a wide variety among them. “We’re such a small brewery, which allows us to experiment with small batches,” said Murphy. “We like seasonal beers, so when the weather changes, beers at Barnshed Brewing changes.” If you can’t find someone to dogsit, Barnshed is pet-friendly to your furry friends brought in on a leash. If you can’t make it down to the brewery’s location, you can find Barnshed at Crossroads Farms in Malverne for this year’s Food Truck Derby (July 19), the Long Island Craft Classic Beer Fest at Heckscher State Park on Aug. 10, and on Aug. 17, the
Blue Point Brewery in Patchogue. brewery will be at the NY NY Baseball BrewFest at the Cradle of Aviation in Garden City.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Ex-Newsday photog exhibit at Clark Garden As part of Clark Botanic Garden’s 50th anniversary celebration, the Town of North Hempstead will be hosting an exhibit featuring the photography of former Newsday photojournalist Audrey Tiernan at the garden. The theme of the exhibit is Clark Botanic Garden, one of Tiernan’s favorite places. The exhibit opens with a reception on Thursday, August 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Clark House at Clark Botanic Garden located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson and is open to the public. “We are absolutely thrilled and honored to be featuring the beautiful work of Audrey Tiernan at the Clark House gallery,” said Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “It’s obvious from her work that Clark Botanic Garden holds a very special place in her heart.” “As a child growing up in Garden City, I didn’t know about Clark Botanic Gar-
den,” said Tiernan. “I first discovered the garden in 1983, when Newsday sent me on assignment there. I have been going back regularly ever since and consider it one of the best kept secrets on Long Island. Every time I am there I find something new and wonderful to photograph.” Tiernan worked as a staff photographer for Newsday for almost 37 years, where she received numerous awards on international, national and local levels. Tiernan has photographed everything from US presidents to the New York Yankees. In 2015, Tiernan retired to pursue personal projects. These projects include photo exhibits as well as being the principal photographer on three different Long Island history books. Her work on the history and nautical significance of the Fire Island Lighthouse has resulted in a permanent photo exhibit at the lighthouse.
Here is one of the many photos that Audrey Tiernan will be exhibiting at Clark Botanic Garden., all featuring the grounds and everything that grows there.
‘Horror Vacui: Fear of the Empty’ exhibit Huntington Arts Council is proud to present Horror Vacui: Fear of the Empty, with Erica Berkowitz serving as a juror. The exhibit is on display from July 19 through Aug. 24, 2019. In visual art, horror vacui (from Latin, “fear of empty space”), also kenophobia (from Greek, “fear of the empty”), is the filling of the entire surface of a space or an artwork with detail. In physics, “horror vacui” reflects Aristotle’s idea that “nature abhors an empty space.” Horror vacui uses high levels of detail to contrast with the sublime unknown. Art history is filled with examples of horror vacui from arabesque decoration of early Islamic art and the engravings of Renaissance printmaker Jean Duvet to contemporary works of Kehinde Wiley. What is the visual
representation of fear of the empty?The Huntington Arts Council invited artists to reflect and submit work in line with this subject. The Huntington Arts Council would like to offer its congratulations to the following participating artists: Anjipan, Eiman Adeil, Melanie Berardicelli, Holly Black, Mary Brodersen, Doris Diamond, Richard Froman, Bill Grabowski, Brian Grandfield, Chrysoula Highland, Libby Hintz, Melissa Johnides, Jacques LeBlanc, Yossi Manor, Jeanette Martone, Latifa Mazza, Kristen Memoli, Emily Mintz, Kasmira Mohanty, Maria Oliveira, Toxic/Nature Studios, Alisa Shea, Meredith Smith, Pamela Waldroup, Stephen Wyler, Nancy Yoshii. “We had an outstanding response to this call, both in the number of artists who Continued on Page 47

Renaissance of the ‘Horror Vacui: Fear Rose Garden in G.N. of the Empty’ exhibit The historic Rose Garden on the Village Green has seen a rebirth. Great Neck’s prized Rosarium has welcomed a myriad of new rose bushes and further improvements are underway. It was the idyllic setting for a musical performance by students of North High School’s Choral Choir on a balmy Sunday in June. Guests sat in the cool shade of the sprawling Japanese maple and enjoyed the fragrance of blooming roses as they listened to the music. Accompanied by Dr. Pamela Levy, Chairman of Fine & Performing Arts at the high school; Alex Mousazadeh, Chantal Sadighpour, Ashley Schusselbergg, Leeor Elias, Daisy Korman and Sara Rafael performed Broadway show songs and operatic arias. Lakeville and North Middle instrumental music teacher Jacquelyn Tomlet provided a splendid saxophone solo, as well. The a cappella chorus topped off the afternoon with the final song. The concert was an offering of the Great Neck Parks District in collaboration with the Great Neck Garden Club. As a June tribute to the newly blooming roses, Jason Capote, curator of the Rose Garden, gave a slide presentation about the history of the garden at Great Neck House. This was followed by a tour of the garden, during which rose enthusiasts were able to take advantage of Jason’s vast knowledge of the history and care of roses. Plans are underway for other activities in this beautiful space. As this is a “no spray” garden, it will be visited by both the Long Island Rose Society and Manhattan Rose Society who will hold a joint meeting at Great Neck House on September 14. They will present a mini rose show and also engage with the public in the Rose Garden to discuss rose culture and answer questions. There will be consulting rosarians on hand to identify rose diseases and present treatment options. A few years ago, the LIRS generously donated twelve rose bushes and its members have provided advise and counsel throughout the years. The entire Village Green (includ-
ing the Rose Garden, which lies behind the protective stone wall) was designed in 1923 by noted landscape architect Beatrix Ferrand who also designed the Rockefeller Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden, the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., and many other important gardens. The Rose Garden was improved in 1950 with redesigned beds, facilitated by developments in rose culture, which gave rise to the modern hybrid tea and other varieties which now fill the garden. Nothing of consequence was done again until 2003, after which efforts to properly maintain it were undertaken by the GN Parks District with the cooperation of the Great Neck Garden Club. A major breakthrough came last year with the addition of rosarian Jason Capote, who has overseen a near-total renovation of the garden. Through his efforts, almost 300 new bushes have been donated by noted rose growers. Despite the relentless spring rains, Jason and Maintenance Supervisor, Rick Canfield, along with his staff, worked tirelessly to plant the new offerings, create some new beds and artfully reorganize the garden. Other upgrades will complete the renovation. GNPD Superintendent Jason Marra has been extremely supportive of these efforts. Submitted by Sue Luskin
Continued from Page 46 submitted and the work they chose to reflect the subject,” said executive director Marc Courtade. “I invite everyone to stop by the gallery and experience the detail and skill presented in these works in person.” The juror, Erica Berkowitz, is the director at Haven Gallery, has her bachelor’s degree in art history from Stony Brook University and her master’s degree in contemporary art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art. She has worked locally on Long Island at the Nassau County
Museum of Art and the Islip Art Museum. Most recently, she left her position as director of Last Rites Gallery in New York City for nearly three years to open up her own gallery space. Prior to directing at Last Rites, she was the director of press and publications at Forum Gallery. She has been working in the art world for more than eight years. Opening reception is Friday, July 19th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Main Street Gallery, 213 Main St., Huntington. The event is free and all are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.

BREWERIES TO VISIT THIS SUMMER Continued from Page 25 panions along with you, but only in the outdoor beer garden. The brewpub is open Wednesday to Sunday every week, and on Friday, July 26, will be hosting its Summer Friday event which features live music from local favorites and a headline performance by New Politics. Guests will be invited to play one of many backyard games for chances to win free pints, swag, and more. Besides Summer Friday, you can catch Blue Point Brewery along the streets of Patchogue at the final two Alive After 5 dates of the summer, July 24 and Aug. 8 or at the annual Long Island Maritime Museum’s Seafood Festival Aug. 24-25, both of which Blue Point is the presenting sponsor for. The brewery will also be at the Long Island Craft Classic at Heckscher State Park and the NY NY Baseball BrewFest, likely serving up its signature beer popular with fans of the New York Yankees, the “Pinstripe Pilsner.” Great South Bay Brewery: On Long Island’s south shore just a few short miles from the Great South Bay, the brewery has been pouring drinks for nearly the last decade in Bay Shore. Serving up Long Island-inspired brews such as the “Robert Moses,” “Field 5,” and others with Long Island identifiers as part of the label, Great South Bay has plenty of beers on tap with plenty happening at the taproom, which is open six days a week. On Monday, the brewery hosts game night, where you can play one of many board games in a quiet bar with all of your friends. Wednesday is
bingo night at the brewery from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for beer, prizes and Great South Bay gift cards and Thursday is trivia night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the chance to win a gift card to Great South Bay worth anywhere from $50 to $600. Besides its nightly happenings, there are also some special events coming up in the next few weeks, including a cornhole tournament with NY Cornhole and live music on the Back Lawn with the Suburban Bros. Band on July 27, and on Aug. 18, will be the Greater Long Island Runners Club 5-mile long Aloha Run to Great South Bay Brewery. The one day of the week Great South Bay closes its doors is on Tuesday, but Monday, Wednesday and Thursday the brewery stays open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, noon to midnight on Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday. If you can’t find a pet sitter or a babysitter, don’t worry, Great South Bay allows you to bring your pets and your kids, as long as it’s within the brewery’s permitted hours. Great South Bay will be participating in beer festivals later in the year as well. “We do participate in a lot of beer festivals all over the island,” said Zach Popp, who works in sales for GSB. “Especially the bigger ones like the Great Beer Expo coming up this fall. And also a lot of events in the city.” Like other breweries on Long Island, Great South Bay can also be found at the Long Island Craft Classic as well as the NY NY Baseball BrewFest, both happening next month. Greenport Harbor Brewing: Long Island’s North Fork isn’t just home to wineries, it has its fair share of beer,
too. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, Greenport Harbor Brewing has plenty for the avid beer drinker to do when taking a trip out east this summer. “Every week is filled with events including live music all weekend long and trivia on Thursday nights,” said Betsy Liegey, who works in branding for Greenport Harbor Brewing. “On Sunday, July 28, we will be hosting LuchaRumble – a wrestling event with WWE’s Corey Graves among others.” The brewery also hosts live musical performances at both of its locations in Greenport and Peconic on the weekends. While both sites have plenty of beer on tap, including the brewery’s popular “Other Side IPA,” and seasonals such as the “Summer Ale” and “Leaf Pile” in the fall, there is plenty more than just drinking to do when paying a visit to the north fork. “Our firehouse location (in Greenport) seconds as an art gallery, where we exhibit new artists regularly,” said Liegey. “We have an opening for each new artist. In January, be on the lookout for our annual Chili Cook-off where local chefs compete for top honors for the best chili.” The location in Greenport opens at noon all seven days of the week, closing at 7 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, while the Peconic site is open 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and the same noon to 9 p.m. as its other location on Friday and Saturday. Montauk Brewing Company: Back in 2012, Montauk Brewing Company started off as a basement operation between a group of friends and, in just
seven years, has grown to assimilate itself into The End of Long Island on the south fork. “Montauk Brewing Company focuses on making the highest quality beer, while living an active lifestyle,” said Erin Burns, taproom and events coordinator. “Our laid-back, no-frills way of life and ‘Come As You Are’ attitude invites fans from all over, with all sorts of backgrounds.” The brewery sticks to its active lifestyle by hosting “Bells and Brews” every Thursday at its Montauk location, which consists of a “free kettlebell training session led by Truth Training followed by Montauk beer,” according to Burns. Montauk Brewing is also partnering with Bowery Farms Aug. 2 to help clean up the beach, which will be followed by food and drinks at the brewery. With a tasting room in Montauk open from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, one of Montauk Brewing Company’s seven beers would be the perfect way to end a trip out to the lighthouse on the tip of Long Island or a day at the beach. “Wave Chaser IPA continues to see explosive growth throughout Long Island and New York City,” added Burns. “It offers incredible tropical aromas of grapefruit and citrus. Montauk Summer Ale is our No. 1 selling seasonal and, according to our fans, is the official beer of the summer.” The tap room is “friendly-dog friendly,” as the brewery puts it, and is open for all ages, so don’t worry about having to get rid of the kids after a trip out east. Montauk Brewing Company will also have its beer available in plenty of distribution centers and will be making an appearance at the NY NY Baseball BrewFest next month.
