Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The history of Greenwich House Music School (GHMS)
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 lead more fulfilling lives. The goal of
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
$40,000 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!

that provide an outlet for both artistic expression and
athletic energy.
We provide a familiar and supportive environment serving

Summer Arts
Camp
With 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 mediums to help them
develop their own visual voices. 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!
Depending on the weather, campers also
take field trips to movie theaters,
museums, galleries, parks and
neighborhood attractions.
Register for individual weeks or the
entire summer at
greenwichhouse.org/camp.
Camp Dates:
July – August
Counselor-in-Training Program
Our oldest group of campers (13 and 14
year-olds who are in or will be entering
high school) have the opportunity to work
more independently from younger
campers. Teens work on in-depth art
projects, participate in counselor training
workshops and begin to learn how to
supervise younger campers. The program
encourages maturity and independence in
our oldest campers and provide an
environment for growth and self-discovery.
Space is limited. Interested teens are
asked to apply for this program at
greenwichhouse.org/camp.

Girls Basketball
Greenwich House Girls Basketball is
a non-competitive league that gives
young women a chance to have fun
while building self-esteem, teaching how
to win and lose gracefully and work in
collaboration, and instilling the discipline
to faithfully attend practices as well
as games.
No experience is necessary as
volunteer coaches, who have a love for
basketball, are hands-on in teaching the
fundamentals of the sport. All participants
receive a team trophy at the end of
the season. Players also benefit from
an annual clinic run by the Columbia
University Women’s Basketball Team.
Practices are held Friday nights with
games on Saturdays.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Greenwich House’s first art exhibition including
ceramics was held in May, 1905. The “gallery” was a
humble room within the House’s original building
on Jones Street, just 75 feet from the present
location of Greenwich House Pottery and its Jane
Hartsook Gallery. The exhibition was primarily
organized to show the community what activities
the neighborhood youngsters had been up to.
pottery
Over the next 112 years, the Pottery has maintained
its tradition as a showcase of ceramics for the
community. Though today’s Pottery has evolved
from its early endeavors, a culture and spirit of
exploration still remain. Greenwich House Pottery is
an internationally recognized center for ceramics
offering a diverse program of classes, exhibitions,
residencies, lectures and workshop, all of which
serve newcomers, amateurs and professional
artists alike.
Please join us to experience the uniqueness of our
facility, community and the ceramic arts.
