Terence McManus, a self-taught artist, developed a passion for art at a young age. Much of his work concentrates on portraits of people and animals, in which he tries to capture the subtle differences and personalities of each individual. His favorite medium is pastel, which presents freshness and bright colors in the paintings.
Incorporated in 1972, Smithtown Township Arts Council (STAC) offers a unique combination of historical preservation, cultural promotion, and arts exhibition. The Council has been committed to the arts in Suffolk County for forty-six years, working to provide a creative outlet and the opportunity to experience, investigate, and discover contemporary art and cultural issues which are engaging and relevant to the public's daily lives and civic responsibilities. We believe the arts are indispensable in building good character in the citizens of our communities as they foster communication, offer new insights on the world, and add to the greater appreciation of both life and society.
Smithtown Township Arts Council Inc. is a recognized 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization, classified as a public charity under sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are supported in part by Town of Smithtown, public and private donations.
