Our Story

Since the death of Joseph Reboli in 2004 there was a search to find a suitable site for a unique art center that would feature the remarkable, historical collection of paintings from this very popular, 20th century artist.  That site was finally found in 2015 and opened to the public in 2016.

Located in the heart of Stony Brook Village, on the banks of the Stony Brook Creek overlooking Stony Brook’s beautiful harbor, a historic brick structure originally built in 1911 for the Bank of Suffolk County is now the home of The Reboli Center for Art and History.  Our building, the only commercial building still standing in its original location in the village of Stony Brook, has numerous historical ties to the Reboli family and offers the community a beautiful setting for a new cultural organization.

The establishment of The Reboli Center provides public access to Joseph Reboli’s work and provides artistic and historical programs for people of all ages, educating them about his art and its relationship to the surrounding community, Suffolk County, and Long Island.  In addition, The Reboli Center is also proud to present the work of contemporary artists and artisans along with displaying rotating historical exhibitions that are rich with information about art history and Long Island.
