Since 1973, the Greenwich Arts Council has fostered the visual, performing and literary arts at the local level. The private, nonprofit organization operates from the Greenwich Arts Center, a grand, pillared building on the Avenue that serves as home to a number of Greenwich organizations, including the Senior Center. The Bendheim Gallery is also located here. Programs, classes, and performances are offered on a continual basis, and the group's numerous annual events include Art to the Avenue, the Kite Flying Festival and the Literary Lights bookfair. The GAC Meeting Room, Bendheim Gallery and Dance Studio are available for rent. Members enjoy discounts to sponsored events and other benefits. Fees and further information are listed on the GAC website.
