New Art Studio in the Hub City a.k.a. Spartanburg its called Wet Paint Syndrome
Info below from Local Artist Kris Neely...
We have a community event called the Pop-up Gallery the first Thursday of every month starting in Nov.
Artists are invited to present up to two works to show in the space for one night.
They pay $15 dollars, and there is no commission if they make a sale.
It runs from 6:30 to 9pm and is free and open to the public. Artists arrive at 6pm to hang work on a first come first serve basis.
They need to stay with their work and manage their sales or conversations about it.
We hope this new approach will foster more critique, artistic discourse, and encourage a stronger community for local artists.
We hope established artists will bring work that is very new, or even in process, and pushing the edges of an artist’s practice.
We also want to offer opportunities to artists who are still emerging to show work in the community.
Hopefully we will have a crowd of folks who want to come out to see the raw edge of new art in the Upstate.
Self-taught artists, mixed media experiments, and non-traditional work is also strongly encouraged.
We are trying to make it as affordable as possible for both the artist and the buyer by charging a low flat fee.
The goal is to reduce the uncertainty for the artists, the buyers, and people who are seeking a new form of expression to step into the spotlight in our community.
I have no idea who might show up to share, so that will be the most fun!
Thanks for your help!

All proceeds go to a local charity that feeds the hungry. Keep the souvenir bowl as a reminder of helping others.
Hub City Empty Bowls is being headed by Jim Cullen, a local potter and pottery instructor at the Spartanburg Art Museum (SAM) Art School. HUB-BUB is partnering with Carolina Clay Artists, SAM’s Art School and Chapman Cultural Center in this project.
The goal of Empty Bowls is to raise money to help organizations fight hunger, to raise awareness about the issues of hunger and food security and to help bring about an attitude that will not allow hunger to exist.
