Reception: Saturday, August 6, 2011 2:00-4:00 Light refreshments will be served.

The Greenwich Art Society has served the Greenwich community since it’s founding in 1912. The purpose for this one-hundred year old, non-profit studio school is to promote education and interest in the visual arts by means of classes, exhibitions, demonstrations, lectures and gallery trips.

Known originally as The Greenwich Society of Artists, its founders and pioneer members included many distinguished artists and art patrons. Its first president was Edward Clark Potter, sculptor of the lions (nicknamed Patience and Fortitude) at the New York Public Library. Early members were associated with the famous Cos Cob School, several of them leaders in the American Impressionist movement.

Exhibitions of the Society were held in the hilltop house donated to the town by Robert M. Bruce, when it became the Bruce Museum. In 1928 the prestigious Annual Members Juried Exhibition moved to the art gallery at the Greenwich Library.

Today, its quarters at the Senior/Arts Center on Greenwich Avenue include a teaching studio and office on the third floor, and a gallery for changing exhibitions of works by members, faculty and other selected artist, on the second.

The Society presents annual juried exhibitions at the Flinn Gallery at the Greenwich Library, The Bendheim Gallery of the Greenwich Arts Center, the Garden Education Center of Greenwich and Audubon Greenwich. Further information can be found on the Society’s website.
