SUMMARY:Elizabeth Goddard's "Circle as a Verb" Reception
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth is a professional artist and gallery manager with more than 25 years of experience in the art world. Well known within the Spartanburg arts community\, she has played a vital role behind the scenes for decades—though it has been far too long since her own work has been on view. We’re excited to help change that. \nIn her recent practice\, Elizabeth creates sculptural works using wire\, screen\, embroidery floss\, and other found materials. Suspended between drawing and object\, these pieces interact dynamically with light\, casting intricate shadows that shift across the gallery walls as the space transforms around them. Join us for her show Circle as a Verb and reception on February 19. \nGet Your Free Ticket\n  \nLearn more about Elizabeth Goddard here ↗ \n

SUMMARY:March Group Show
DESCRIPTION:Our first group show of 2026 is an inspiring celebration of courage\, creativity\, and new horizons. \nThis exhibition challenges visual artists to respond to a powerful line from William Faulkner:\n“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” \nWhat does it mean to let go? To leap? To trust the unknown? We’re calling on artists to explore risk\, transformation\, adventure\, and the beauty of becoming. \n\nAll sizes and mediums are welcome.\nArtists may submit up to two pieces.\nAll artwork must be ready to hang with a sawtooth hanger or wire.\nArt intake day is March 14.\, 2026 from 1:00 – 3:00 PM\n\nJoin us in celebrating creativity and courage at our Artist Reception on Thursday\, March 19 from 5:00–8:00 PM. Come meet the artists\, connect with fellow art lovers\, and experience work inspired by the thrill of new horizons. \nWe’re especially excited to partner with Partners for Active Living (PAL) for this exhibition. A portion of all art sales throughout March will support PAL’s mission to create a more active\, healthy Spartanburg community. To learn more about PAL visit their website here. \nRSVP to the event here.
