Arts Project of Cherry Grove 70th Anniversary — Making history for the past 7 decades
Our Mission
The Arts Project of Cherry Grove is dedicated to preserving and celebrating LGBTQ history past, present and future through arts and culture and provides a safe, supportive environment where queer artists can express themselves without censorship or persecution. APCG is the heart of Cherry Grove, actively fostering community spirit by promoting inclusiveness. We encourage all residents, guests and visitors alike to participate in our productions and events as performers, artists, and/or audience members.
Our Makeover
Our foundation was applied 73 years ago and it’s time for a fresh base!
Fire Island is one of the oldest and foremost gay vacation destinations in the world and the Arts Project of Cherry Grove has been instrumental in its evolution. We are excited to unveil our beautiful new website and logo inspired by the original Pride flag. Our updated image better matches our dedication to preserving the arts in Cherry Grove since 1948 and providing the most diverse, creative and enriching line-up of cultural experiences and entertainment possible.
