Greenwich House is a place where creativity is celebrated. The Music School, Pottery, After-School and Summer Arts Camp programs are designed to transform education in the arts and provide emerging artists opportunities to showcase their work. As an important contributor to the arts in New York, Greenwich House’s commitment to educational and artistic excellence remains as strong today as it was at its founding over 100 years ago. These programs continue to thrive because they represent hubs for New Yorkers to be creative in a supportive environment, where they can learn and shape their craft.

Greenwich House Music School and Pottery serve all who wish to grow, regardless of age or skill. The schools offer children’s and adult classes, private lessons, ensembles, concerts, recitals and exhibitions with the goal of fully serving the community. The After-School and Summer Arts Camp programs expand the creative capacities of children and teens year-round, inspiring a new generation of artists and arts lovers. Join us at Greenwich House and discover new ways to think about and experience art.

Dear Friends and Neighbors, Greenwich House After-School, Summer Arts Camp and Girls Basketball are true community-based extracurricular programs that provide an outlet for both artistic expression and athletic energy in a familiar, supportive environment. At Greenwich House, we believe that teaching children, be it a new sculpting technique or the value of good sportsmanship, is a tremendous responsibility, and we are committed to ensuring that every child has an enriching and safe learning experience. Our instructors, most of whom are working artists with expertise in their fields, come with a passion for working with children and inspiring students with an unparalleled enthusiasm for their crafts.

We are always excited to welcome new families into the Greenwich House community and hope to see you around the House soon.

erSummer Arts CampWith a long history of providing arts programming to New Yorkers, Summer Arts Camp at Greenwich House provides young people, ages 7-14, access to different artistic movements to help them develop their own visual voice. Students work on collaborative and individual projects in disciplines such as architecture, painting and drawing, cartoon art, ceramics, printmaking and animation. All levels are welcome; the only requirement is an interest in the arts!

Throughout camp, weather permitting, campers also take field trips to movie theaters, museums, galleries, parks and neighborhood attractions, including a weekly pool trip.

Register for Summer Arts Camp at greenwichhouse.org/afterschool.

Camp Dates: July 5 – August 26, 2016

Counselor-in-Training ProgramOur eldest group of campers, aged 13 and 14, can work more independently from the younger campers, engage in in-depth art projects, and participate in counselor training workshops to learn how to supervise young campers. The CIT program requires maturity, encourages independence and provides an enviornment for growth and self-discovery. As space is limited, interested teens are required to apply for this program.

“ Wonderful staff,

interesting activities and a warm, welcoming spirit. We can’t wait to be back next year!”

- Aria LaskinSummer Arts Camp Parent

classesDear Friends and Neighbors,

The history of Greenwich House Music School stretches back to 1905, when we were founded in the settlement tradition with a mission to provide arts and cultural programs to help our community expand experiences and help individuals lead more fulfilling lives. The goal at GHMS is to teach students the beauty and transformative power of music, art and dance and make them lifelong lovers of the arts.

GHMS serves the community through diverse programs, including private and group instruction in piano, violin, cello, viola, woodwinds, brass, guitar, drums, harp and voice, as well as early childhood programs in dance, visual arts and movement. The school is proud to offer over $50,000 each year in financial aid for students based on merit and need.

The faculty is comprised of seasoned professionals utilizing a curriculum that fosters the transition from early childhood programs into private and group instruction. Students are encouraged to maintain a connection with GHMS throughout their lives, returning year after year to continue their studies. We hope you will join us; exciting things are happening here!

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Greenwich House Pottery is the oldest non-profit studio in the country dedicated to the inquiry and advancement of the ceramic arts. An internationally recognized center that offers a diverse range of classes, exhibitions, residencies, lectures, master workshops and community outreach, the Pottery’s goal is to meet the needs of newcomers, amateurs and professional artists alike. Founded in 1909, its unique history encompasses the evolution of American Ceramics. With roots as a craft program in a Greenwich Village settlement house, the Pottery quickly became a hub of the post-war studio crafts movement and is today a vital center for art and inquiry.

GHP has something for everyone, serving hundreds of students and thousands of visitors each year. Please join us to experience the uniqueness of our facility, community and the ceramic arts.
