Garrison Art Center
The Garrison Art Center is a nonprofit arts organization located in Garrison, New York, situated on the banks of the Hudson River within the Garrison Landing Historic District. Established in 1964, the center aims to foster a vibrant, diverse community where art is accessible to all through education, exhibitions, and community outreach programs.[1]
The center offers a range of educational programs for adults and children, including classes in fine arts, printmaking, fiber arts, mixed media, and ceramics. In 2023, it hosted over 5,500 students across 118 programs taught by 40 teaching artists. Additionally, the center organizes ten annual exhibitions featuring juried, solo, member, and student shows, and hosts events such as the Garrison Craft Fair and the Holiday Pottery Show & Sale.
In 2014, Garrison Art Center celebrated its 50th anniversary.[2] In 2024, it marked 60 years by exhibiting works from 60 artists in the smallWORKS biennial show.[3]
Garrison Art Center is the 2021 recipient of the Parnassus Award for offering exceptional programming and community enrichment through the arts.[4][1] The Garrison Art Center continues to serve as a vital cultural hub in the Hudson Valley, promoting local and regional artists and enriching the community through the arts.[1]
