Art Scene, Greer SC, Part of MAC Open Studios Weekend
Get ready to hear about Greer’s best kept secret: The Center for the Arts. She’s a gem, which is clear to be seen even from the outside- with the scenic park, playground, amphitheater, and walking paths. The location, a convenient one-mile hop from the downtown Greer area, makes a quick trip enticing, and even better is that there’s almost always plenty of close parking.
I draw your attention to this location though, not because of the outside, but to invite you to come over for an event happening inside the building during the second weekend in November. There is always something fun happening inside- performances of all kinds, fresh art exhibits, and art classes on the regular. This event will be of particular interest to those who enjoy traipsing around for Greenville’s Open Studios event, because this year, 4 resident artists in the Center for the Arts will be participating in hosting the public for an art appreciation experience. Not only is there a new gallery up featuring these artists, but you will also be able to see live demonstrations of their work. Come out and ask questions and hear about their stories and processes.
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
“The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
So consider this your invitation to put Open Studios in Greer on your calendar, and come out to see us. The official days are 11/13-14. Saturday 10-6, with refreshments served in the afternoon, and Sunday 12-6. We are also hosting a preview weekend on Saturday the 6th, from 10-6, if you’d like to be the first to check it out and make your purchases!
The Greer Center for the Arts is located at:
804 Trade Street
Greer, sc 29650
Parking is readily available around the building. While on Trade Street, the C4A is about a mile from the downtown traffic.
