OPEN ART STUDIOS

Greenville’s art scene is subtly woven into the fabric of the city. You can’t think of Greenville without the Peace Center, the theaters, the yearly arts festival, the museum, and arrays of galleries and studios in downtown Greenville. Whether you’re looking for a new piece of art, view some beautiful pieces, or you simply want to learn how to paint or draw, you can do all of them when you head to Open Art Studios located in the heart of downtown Greenville.

Open Art Studios was started by artist Ashley Brickner and her artist partners in 2018. The gallery offers collections by new and established local artists in a variety of visual disciplines. The gallery gives an opportunity for local artists to showcase and sell their work. In addition, artists can use the versatile space within the gallery as a studio or class space through their partnership program.

As for viewers who simply appreciate all forms of arts, the gallery features city, landscape, coastal, figurative, abstract, and still life paintings.
