Whoever said that art and commerce don’t mix was clearly mistaken.
For 27 years, Art to the Avenue has been doing just that. Each May, with the overwhelming support of the Greenwich business community, the Arts Council turns Greenwich Avenue into a strolling gallery. Most stores host receptions for the hundreds of visitors who attend to preview the work of local artists. The art selected by the retailers remains in place through Memorial Day, so there is ample time for viewers to experience the “gallery” that downtown Greenwich becomes.
