Art to the Avenue
2023 Retailer Registration
What is Art to the Avenue?
Art to the Avenue is an opportunity for stores and restaurants to participate in an exciting festival celebrating Greenwich’s vibrant business district and the arts. Beginning Thursday, May 4 through May 29, Central Greenwich becomes a strolling gallery because you, as members of the retail community, participate by exhibiting original paintings, photographs or sculpture in your establishment and its windows.
All retailers/restaurateurs in the Central Greenwich Business District are invited to join the Arts Council and be a part of Art to the Avenue. All participating businesses will be included on our Art to the Avenue Map, to be handed out and distributed at each store location for the duration of May. Participating businesses information will also be included on our website with address and selected artist.

Final thoughts:
Please NOTE opening night festivities are set for Thursday May 4th, 5 to 8PM. As a participating retailer, you have the choice to have an opening reception however you so choose (preferably no food).
We ask for your patience and understanding as schedules and datelines and events might have to shift suddenly.
What is the next step after I choose an artist / artists?We will then connect you with your selected artist. Once connected, you and the artist(s) will arrange a mutually convenient time for you to meet to choose the works of art that you wish to exhibit (a minimum of 2 art pieces) and decide on how they will be displayed. Many retailers exhibit artwork both inside their stores and in their display windows.
Is the artwork for sale?
Yes! But in order to simplify the process for you, all sales transactions and completion of the sales receipts will be handled by the Greenwich Arts Council’s office. All sales support the Greenwich Arts Council’s wonderful educational programs.
