What is the membership program?
Greenpoint Art Circle’s membership program helps members help themselves, by facilitating access to connections, opportunities, and resources to grow their art practice. We work to support each others’ authentic growth as creators and as people, and to empower members to take initiative in developing new events or collective projects.
