GAC continues to be a living creative entity.
Our extensive classes, inclusive events, and community outreach are vibrant and more energized than ever.

In 2023, the art center hosted 5,540 students onsite for 118 programs for adults and children in fine arts, printmaking, fiber arts, mixed media, and ceramics taught by 40 teaching artists. In 2023-24, we provided 6 outreach programs to 675 people at 34 schools.
Annually, we host ten exhibitions in our galleries. These feature juried, solo, member, and student shows. In 2023 alone, 725 individuals showed their creative work at GAC: 483 young creators, ages 5-18, displayed in our galleries; 242 fine artists joined us for our juried exhibitions and member shows, and 60 artists, inspired by the landscape of the Hudson Valley, exhibited in our galleries for our Spring Fundraising Event, a live auction on the banks of the Hudson River.
Our three annual events support our mission, foster crafts, and fine arts in the Hudson Valley, and function as anticipated seasonal gatherings. In 2024, 112 potters and artisans showcased handmade goods at Garrison Craft and The Holiday Pottery Show & Sale. Our 60th Anniversary Auction encouraged artists to find inspiration in the Hudson Valley and included 60 regional artists.
