ArtGreenwich Village has always been closely tied with the artists of New York city. During the early 1900's the streets would be lined with prospective artists paintings and photographs. This type of art was new to most people as it was made by immigrants and inspired by their culture.

Progressivism
Progressivism is at the core of Greenwich Village. Ever since the waves of immigrants in the late 1800's progressivism has been changing the Village. It then helped the movements of Greenwich get off the ground, like the Stonewall riot and the beat movement. these movements didn't just shape Greenwich Village, they shaped all of america.
Immigrants
Immigration
Immigration has changed every place that it has occurred in, New York in particular. And so when the new immigrants began finding a place to settle, Greenwich village was happy to supply them with a place to stay. And we are very lucky to have had them chose the Village, because without them so many influential writers and authors would have never had the inspiration to do what they wanted to.
