WHY G R E E N H I L L
MISSION
TO P R O M OT E T H E V I S UA L A R T & ARTISTS OF NORTH CAROLINA
W H AT I S G R E E N H I L L? GreenHill is the preeminent center for contemporary visual art celebrating North Carolina’s art and culture. GreenHill is comprised of four spaces: The Gallery, InFocus Gallery, the ArtQuest Studios and The Shop. GreenHill’s innovative programs are geared for the art novice to sophisticate, young and not-so-young, culturally inclined and those who want to get out and have fun. At GreenHill we believe art is essential to the human experience. It speaks a universal language, is a means of selfexpression, and an opportunity to experience a process from beginning to end. It not only elicits an immediate response, it also provides opportunities for reflection.
GreenHill is also good for Greensboro. It is a vibrant part of the downtown scene and the ever-growing Greensboro cultural district. Located across the street from Center City Park and next to LeBauer Park, GreenHill is a hub of activity from morning through evening with young families and visits from school groups in the ArtQuest Studios, v i s i to r s to The G allery to view ongoing exhibitions, artist talks, open studio time, summer camps, pop-up artist residencies and lively, musical First Friday events. GreenHill is eye-opening, educational and exciting.
