We are very excited to collaborate with the artists of the Adult Day Program and the Glen Cove Senior Center on this recycling-based project, so gather up those clear plastic bottles and drop them off at the Senior Center!

And make sure to visit our Glen Cove Downtown BID Art Crawl installation on May 1st.

We’re creating an art installation for the 2nd Annual Downtown Glen Cove Art Crawl, and we need clear disposable plastic bottles to bring this vision to life!

♻️ How you can help:
Please drop off clean, empty CLEAR plastic bottles at the Glen Cove Senior Center. Every bottle donated becomes part of a beautiful community art project created by our seniors and local artists.

Let’s make something amazing together for this year’s Art Crawl. Thank you for supporting creativity, sustainability, and community spirit!

The Glen Cove Downtown Art Crawl is an annual community celebration that transforms the heart of downtown into a vibrant, walkable arts experience. Local businesses, galleries, restaurants, and public spaces open their doors to showcase the work of local artists, students, and community groups. Visitors can stroll through the downtown area, enjoy live demonstrations, view unique installations, meet artists, and participate in hands‑on creative activities.

The event is designed to bring people of all ages together, support local talent, and highlight Glen Cove’s growing arts and cultural scene. Now in its second year, the Art Crawl continues to expand with new exhibits, interactive projects, and community partnerships - including contributions from the Glen Cove Senior Center.
