See your favorite artists reimagined at the Bayway

Support the arts this spring

Posted

Bayway Arts Center, a performing arts venue located in East Islip, hosts just about any genre of performance you can imagine. From concerts and theater productions, to dance recitals and corporate events, their state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff ensure that every performance is a memorable one.

Bayway Arts Center was purchased in summer of 2023 by current owners Alex Dollin and Jessy Gill, who also owns Broadway Dance Theatre in Islip.

“We want to be there for what the community wants. So aside from private rentals, we want to offer things the community would be interested in seeing, whether that be movies, live shows, even birthday parties, and of course, concerts,” shared Dollin. “We are here, we are new, we are open to all ideas, so if people have an idea how they would like to use this space, we encourage them to reach out to us.”

This spring, stop at the Bayway Café for a drink or your favorite snack, and attend one of these exciting events! To purchase tickets, visit www.baywayartscenter.com.
