fresh art gets a home!

On August 1, 2001 fresh art moved into its very own space in the heart of Greenwich Village. We are housed inside the landmark Washington Square United Methodist Church on West 4th Street, with our own entrance facing this lively street.

We are thrilled to have the space, which we are renovating for use as a gallery, gift shop and office for fresh art and its artists. We are delighted to be able to show and sell the work of gifted New York City artists with special needs on an on-going basis.

Please look for our grand opening and gallery/gift shop hours in October 2001!

Thanks to all of our supporters for helping us to reach this goal.
