Greenville Open Studios 2024

Greenville Open Studios celebrates the local visual arts community with free studio tours for the public. What began as an idea among a small group of artists to raise awareness of their practice in the greater community has evolved into a full-fledged annual event. This exciting tradition is now celebrating its 22nd year!

The goals of Greenville Open Studios are to provide free and convenient community access to visual arts, to educate and create a dialogue between artists and the general public by opening artists' places of work and inviting the community-at-large to participate in the creative process and to create new marketing opportunities for artists. It is the organizers' desire that the project will open up the world of visual artists to everyone -- from the seasoned collector to the first-time art buyer to the curious general public. 

Last year, the 2023 self-guided tour featured 143 artists and their studios; 98 studio locations varied throughout a 15-mile radius of downtown Greenville with Easley, Greer, Travelers Rest and Simpsonville included. The new Open Studios catalog will be released in October 2024. The Open Studios catalog serves as a vital resource for art supporters, and will be available after the event throughout the year. Stop by the Metropolitan Arts Council at 16 Augusta St at any time of the year and pick up an Open Studios brochure to learn more about MAC and Open Studios!
