The East End Arts & Humanities Council (EEA) was formed in 1972 with the mission to strengthen accessibility to the arts and connect the budding arts communities on eastern Long Island. Over fifty years later, its award-winning community gallery exhibitions unite fine artists from the North Fork, South Fork, and beyond. EEA is a vital element to the local area, combining the principles of inclusivity with high standards of art to unlock creativity and build community.

The nonprofit organization is located on the nexus of the twin forks, the Arts District of Riverhead, where it operates two fine art galleries, an art & music school, a professional recording studio, and an open green space.
