Greenwich Community Artist Exhibition
Greenwich Community Artists Series
The Greenwich Historical Society launched the Community Artists Series in March 2010. The program features selected artists who work in a variety of media and highlights examples of their work that complement themes of the Historical Society's rotating exhibitions.
Art has always been a major focus for the Greenwich Historical Society, whose Bush-Holley House in Cos Cob was a cradle for American Impressionism and the inspiration for prominent American artists such as Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Elmer MacRae and Genjiro Yeto. As a renewed commitment to this artistic legacy, the Community Artists Series has been established to support and encourage contemporary local artists by offering a welcoming venue for the exhibition of their work in a unique and historic setting.

Fresh works will replace the pieces that are sold throughout the holiday shopping season. Buy one of these beautiful creations as a gift, and you'll not only be able to bestow something totally unique, you'll support the Historical Society as well.
The Greenwich Community Artists Series was established in 2009 to foster and encourage contemporary local artists. It was designed to carry on the creative spirit of the Historical Society's Bush-Holley House in Cos Cob, which became an art colony at the turn of the 19th century, was the cradle of American Impressionism and still houses works by prominent American Impressionists Childe Hassam, J. Alden Weir, John Henry Twachtman and Elmer MacRae.
Admission to the Storehouse Gallery Shop is free.
