Title
Upstate Visual Arts, Inc. | Greenville, South Carolina
Description
Mission
To enhance the quality of life within the community by elevating the stature of visual art and educating the public to its significance.
History
Upstate Visual Arts began officially in 1991, when a small group of area business and cultural leaders resolved to serve both area artists and the community by celebrating the vast talent of local artists. UVA now exists as a thriving non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, almost 500 members strong.
Exhibitions
UVA promotes its artists through excellent exhibitions such as Art in the Park (September), the Claude E. Smith Jr. Juried Show (previously named Small Works Show) (April), and the Holiday Gallery (November/December). Along with these large exhibitions, UVA artists may also participate in smaller rotating exhibits such as the exhibits in the UVA Gallery and The Commerce Club.
