Learn more about Greenway Arts Alliance and our programs below:

Since 1997, Greenway Arts Alliance has been connecting communities through performing arts, educational programs, and local commerce. Our model funds holistic arts education programming in public schools through a community market, the Melrose Trading Post. The Melrose Trading Post, is a cultural destination for thousands of shoppers every Sunday that funds Greenway Institute for the Arts, a flourishing arts program at Fairfax High School, and Greenway Court Theatre, a home for works from emerging and established artists.

Greenways GCT EPS-03

Greenway Court Theatre was initially built by Fairfax High School students in 1939 as a class project and used as a Social Hall by both students and faculty.  It sat unused for years until it was renovated into a professional theatre by Greenway Arts Alliance in 2000, to benefit both the school and the surrounding community.

Greenway Court Theatre has a rich history of presenting and producing diverse bodies of work, weekly open mic poetry, student showcases, festivals and world premieres that have moved to larger venues and toured across the country.

Greenway Institute for the Arts offers free in-school and after-school multi-disciplinary arts and leadership programs for Fairfax High and LAUSD students.  With these valuable opportunities to engage with professional artists, young people can discover their individual voices and passions that can lead to careers in the arts. Students are exposed to creative collaborations through the Greenway Court Theatre, and at the Melrose Trading Post.
