'My Pissarro- L'Hermitage at Pontoise' by Thomas DiCicco
'My Monet-1884- Arm of Jeufosse' by Thomas DiCicco
'My Van Gogh-Cafe La Terasse during COVID' by Thomas DiCicco
'My Van Gogh-My Sunflower' by Thomas DiCicco

Smithtown Township Arts Council has announced that the works of Smithtown artist Thomas DiCicco will be on view May 15 – July 18, 2024 at Apple Bank of Smithtown, 91 Route 111, Smithtown. The exhibition, part of the Arts Council’s Outreach Gallery Program, may be viewed during regular banking hours Monday – Thursday 9 am – 4 pm; Friday 9 am – 6 pm; Saturday 9 am – 1 pm.

Thomas DiCicco is a lifelong resident of Smithtown and one of the co-founders of Globecomm, a large satellite communications company, also based in Smithtown. Retiring early, he quickly became aware he needed something to take up his time, and tried his hand at art, never having painted anything before. He started his first acrylic painting in 2018 at age 68 years old. The results of his first attempt came out better than he expected, and so he was encouraged to continue trying this new time occupying endeavor.

In the beginning he started painting those works of well-known impressionist artists, starting with Van Gogh and then moving on to several of the other famous names from the same time period. After doing numerous impressionist paintings of still life and landscapes, he moved toward abstract works by well-known early leaders in abstract work, like Kandinsky and Klee, who astonishingly were painting abstract works more than 100 years ago.

In each of the impressionist paintings in this exhibit, he tried to duplicate the original masterpiece as faithfully as possible, so that when it was finished, if it looked like the original, he was satisfied and used that as a gauge to judge his work. The famous Van Gogh Café piece in this exhibit was painted during COVID, and he thought that it would be a cleaver new twist to have the Café CLOSED, not unlike what we were experiencing in 2020.

STAC is grateful to Apple Bank for its continued support of culture in our communities. We are so happy to feature the talents of Long Island artists in this space!”

Adrienne Giannadeo with Suffolk County Leg. Trotta

.At the May 7 General Meeting of the Suffolk County Legislature, the Presiding Officer announced the nominees who were named the 2024 Women of Distinction for each of the 18 legislative districts. Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta selected Adrienne Giannadeo for her love of family, involvement with her community and her 26 years of being a dedicated teacher in the Kings Park School District.

While working at Park View Elementary School, she readily accepted college students whom she mentored while they did their student teaching in her class. During that time, Adrienne also developed a program with a local nursing home where the residents would come to visit and read to the schoolchildren. In addition, she was asked by the district to spearhead the committee that was responsible for building the first school playground in Kings Park. Part of that assignment was to find a company to do it and to serve as the liaison.

While raising her family and working, Adrienne found time to collaborate with fellow Catholic women in her neighborhood to establish The Rosary Society for St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Kings Park. She is also active in St. Joseph’s Catholic Daughters of America. In 1991, Adrienne was appointed to the Town of Smithtown Board of Zoning Appeals. She made history by becoming the first woman to serve as its Chairwoman, a position she held for 14 years. To this day, she continues to serve on the Zoning Board.

Adrienne is also a member of the St. Catherine of Siena Hospital’s Advisory Board and the Smithtown Sunrise Rotary. She volunteers for both the Kings Park and Smithtown Chambers of Commerce. She is a past trustee of the Smithtown Historical Society. Several organizations have recognized for her for her contributions. The Smithtown Business and Professional Women honored her in 2012 with its Woman of Example Award. In 2014, she received the Community Service Award from the New York State Teacher’s Union. The Kings Park Chamber of Commerce acknowledged her with its Community Service Award last year.

“I met Adrienne more than 10 years ago when I was running for election to the Legislature. The teacher in her was evident when she gave me advice about dressing for the position and informed me that shorts and a t-shirt were not the proper attire. We have been friends ever since and I have the utmost respect for her and am thrilled that she accepted this recognition from me as she deserves it,” said Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta. The 2024 Woman of Distinction for the 13th Legislative District Adrienne Giannadeo is
