Art Walk Returns...EVERY 3rd Thursday!!!!

ART WALK SPARTANBURG

Art Walk Spartanburg returns on Thursday, February 19 from 5 to 9 p.m.

In a new opportunity to explore the many art resources downtown. Posters and maps are available at the art venues, and visitors should look for trolley signs for assistance in roaming between several exhibits. In addition to Carolina Gallery, MYST Gallery and Crescent Gallery, there will be additional storefronts open with special art walk exhibitions. Stephen Stinson, art photographer, and Ed Emory of Carolina Gallery are collaboratively producing a collection of photographs on canvas that feature portraits of important local artists.

The history of artists born here or choosing Spartanburg and environs to live is rich and deep. The region of Upstate South Carolina, as well as western North Carolina, has long attracted artists. This exhibit will introduce you to some of them. Each Art Walk will have additional photographs on display. Gallery 155, on the corner of Broad and Liberty, features selections form a local collection.

The Art Museum is showing "Paws & Reflect", a touring exhibit featuring artwork by leading artists whose focus is canines, as well as the photography show "Thomas Konig: My Amerika." The Artists Guild Gallery is showing work by Michael Slattery. Phifer Hall at Converse College and the Sandor Teszler Library at Wofford College will be open, showing "Sculpture from the Gardens: Brookgreen in the Upstate."

Several local retail merchants are participating by extending their hours into the evening.

Art Walk Spartanburg returns every third Thursday of the month with all venues open to the public.
