Clubs & Activities

The Artists Society: The purpose of the Artist Society is to provide an opportunity for its members to educate the campus community and other members about the Arts through a series of educational, social and cultural programming. Since its beginning the Artist Society has worked hard to encourage people throughout Old Westbury to enjoy in the wonderful world of Art. Last year the club was able to expand itself with an Art Gallery for Students. This year they will continue their work by adding more trips and speakers to their list of activities. The Artist Society can be reached by visiting the web site at: www.geocities.com/artist_soc or by email artist_soc@yahoo.com
