Art to the Avenue
Resuming May 2025
Since 1998 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 and adjacent streets into a strolling gallery.

Arts Alive!
This Benefit Evening establishes a new tradition of giving in Greenwich in support of the Greenwich Arts Council. Help us to continue our mission of promoting and developing cultural resources for our community, our schools and beyond.
Youth@Art
The GAC Youth@Art Program is a broad reaching outreach project which seeks to engage hundreds of elementary, middle school and high school students from the Greenwich public school system with a greater understanding of visual art through immersion in teaching methodologies derived from Harvard Professor Howard Gardner's work in Multiple Intelligence Theory.
Creative Achievement Awards
Each May the Greenwich Arts Council recognizes six outstanding high school juniors selected by their instructors to receive awards. The Creative Achievement Awards honor exceptional artistic ability and creative vision. They are presented at a program during which recipients perform and/or describe their work. The awards are followed by a reception to which the public is invited to attend recognizing these extraordinary young artists.
