Guest artist at the Patchogue Arts Council (PAC): Andres Gallardo:

Andres Gallardo, affectionately known as “The Gem Guy,” is a 35-year-old Panamanian-American artist from Brentwood, NY. He is the visionary behind The Gem Project, an initiative rooted in the belief that art can inspire kindness and connection. GEM stands for Giving Everyone Moments and is a reflection of Andres’ mission to spread the art of giving across the globe. Through this project, Andres creates original artworks and leaves them in public spaces for people to discover, transforming ordinary moments into acts of unexpected generosity. His goal is simple yet powerful: to encourage selflessness, creativity, and compassion within communities. Driven by passion, love, and a commitment to social justice, Andres uses his art as a voice for change. His work serves not only as a visual expression but also as activism bringing positive messages and uplifting energy to those who encounter his art.  Each “gem” is a gift meant to spark connection and inspire action.

Graff Lab Studio:

Graf Lab Studio was founded to inspire and educate the next generation in the graffiti street art movement that continues to sweep the nation. The studio empowers young people by placing a spray can in their hand while teaching them the rich history and vibrant future of graffiti. Co-founder and artist Danny Cross has devoted more than 20 years to his craft, painting community murals, designing custom clothing, and leading creative workshops across New York City.
