In a recent "Sightseeing" column for Artsee magazine, Donn and I explored Greenville, South Carolina, a hip Southern town that has a growing arts scene. A few great finds: 

Greenville County Museum of Art. The Southern Collection is comprised of "Southern" works of a broad definition (by those born in South, those who moved to the South, depictions of the South, and so on), with works ranging from the 1700s to today. The Andrew Wyeth Collection features 35 works from every major period of his career. And on exhibit now: Jasper Johns, through April 15, 2012. 

Hampton 3 Gallery. (A fine art gallery that's actually about seven miles outside of Greenville ...)

Art Bomb. A nonprofit shared studio space for artists ranging from potters to sculptors to painters.

SLAM / Saturday Local Art Market. An open-air art market features arts and crafts (mentioned in an earlier post when I wrote about folk artist Marlon Hunt)
