Garrison Art Center (GAC) is a not-for-profit cultural and artistic center situated in the heart of Putnam County. Over the past year, it has welcomed over 6,500 people to its various exhibitions and events, and another 15,000 have engaged virtually. Nearly half GAC’s attendees are from underrepresented or marginalized communities. The Center’s efforts have made the arts more accessible and available for all. Notably, GAC invites underrepresented local artists who create thought-provoking works and deserve greater public recognition. GAC’s reach is expansive, as they offer outreach programs that benefit hundreds of students at over 30 schools.
