Greenville Open Studios 2004
The third annual Greenville (SC) Open Studios Project will be
held on Nov. 6-7, 2004. Presented by the Metropolitan Arts Council
(MAC) and Wachovia Bank, Greenville Open Studios is a self-directed
studio tour featuring Greenville visual artists at work in their
studios. Admission is free.
Hours for the tour are: Saturday, Nov. 6 - 10am-6pm; Sunday, Nov.
7 - noon-6pm. Greenville Open Studios 2004 will feature 62 area
artists with studios located within a 15-mile radius of downtown
Greenville during the free-weekend event.
Open Studios is designed to give the public the opportunity to
visit artists' studios and interact with them where they work.
In addition to seeing an artist's finished work, the visitor is
able to observe the artistic process of creating the work as well
to learn about the creative process and sources of artistic inspiration.
Samples of each participating artist's work will be available
for viewing at the Metropolitan Arts Council Gallery, located
at 16 Augusta Street in Greenville. The exhibit, A Room with
a View: Selected Works from Open Studios 2004, will be on
display through Dec. 17, 2004. Gallery hours are 8am-5pm, Mon.-Fri.
As part of its Thursday Night at the Museum series, the
Greenville County Museum of Art is hosting Open Studios: How
and Where Art is Made on Nov. 4 at 6:30pm. This event will
allow the public to learn more about Greenville Open Studios from
a variety of perspectives. Selected participating artists will
discuss the event's history and its impact on the community, and
other speakers will address the benefits of beginning or enhancing
a personal art collection.
"This year's event is going to be fantastic, with a record
62 artists participating," said MAC Board Chairman Kirk A.
Goeldner. "So many people and organizations have shown overwhelming
support of this MAC-signature event, including Wachovia Bank,
our corporate sponsors, the artists and the Greenville County
