Fire Island Pines Arts Project

Fire Island Pines Arts Project The Fire Island Pines Arts Project has a long history of promoting and highlighting the arts - both its enthusiasts and its practitioners.

Sylvan Cole and David Baker founded FIPAP over 25 years ago offering musical revues and shows which tapped into the wealth of artistic talent attracted to the Pines. From that beginning FIPAP grew to produce and present an even greater variety of performing arts events and in 1985 introduced the first of its celebrated Biennial Art Shows featuring local visual artists. The Arts Project's range of

events continued to grow to include live performances by renowned musicians, singers, and comedians, curated film exhibitions, and artist salons. Most recently, FIPAP has begun offering cooking classes taught by Pines chefs and hosted its first Arts and Design show. FIPAP also has a proud record of supporting and contributing to other Pines organizations and has been a key contributor to the building and furnishing of the Whyte Hall Community Center.

Every great musical has to begin somewhere. This summer, two of them begin in the Pines.

FIPAP's nationally recognized Barn on Fire Residency returns for our 40th Anniversary season, and we could not be more excited. In partnership with New York Theatre Barn, and presented by Dalip Girdhar and Paul Austin of The P. Austin Foundation, we are proud to bring you performances from two brand-new original musicals:

Café Con Leche
Trick! The Musical

These writers have spent 10 intensive days in residency developing their work — and on June 20, you will be among the first audiences in the world to hear it performed live.

There is a story behind every great institution — and ours is one worth telling.

In 1981, a FIPPOA board member named Laura Eastman had an idea: bring the arts to Fire Island Pines. She launched the first arts program at the old Community House, with support from David Baker, Sylvan Cole, and FIPPOA President Peggy Wilson. It was a beginning.

In 1986, that beginning became something more. David Baker, Bill Hinkley, Sylvan Cole, and John Laub founded FIPAP as a fully independent organization — born from a shared belief that creative excellence belongs everywhere. Even at the beach.

Forty years later, that belief has never wavered.

FIPAP has produced theatre, opera, comedy, musicals, and art shows. We have launched careers and changed lives. We have brought Broadway-caliber artistry to the most intimate, beloved community on the Eastern Seaboard.

This summer, we celebrate all of it. Throughout the 2026 season, we will be sharing the story of how we got here — one decade at a time. We hope you will join us.
