The photography display next week will be the "culminating event" to celebrate their work and accomplishments.
The event will be outdoors, socially distant and masks are required. Lewis will also deliver opening remarks.
The display was made possible through a grant from City Artist Corps, which is a $25 million arts recovery initiative announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio earlier this year.
Greenwich House was founded in 1902.
