Each May, with the overwhelming support of the Greenwich business community, the Arts Council turns Greenwich Avenue into a strolling gallery, Art to the Avenue. One of the largest and most exciting festivals ever organized, the Opening is set for Thursday, May 2, from 5:30 – 8pm. Most stores host receptions for the hundreds of visitors who attend to preview the work of over 120 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. All the art on display is for sale, and a 30% tax deduction for the purchaser benefits GAC. For more information and a map with all locations and featured artists: greenwichartscouncil.org.
