Greenville is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwest corner of South Carolina, halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte. It is one of those lucky U.S. cities impacted positively by high tech development where industries such as BMW, General Electric and Fluor are flourishing.
What to expect:
- Since 2005 the Purchase Awards Program provided an average of an additional $15,00 in art sales each year
- Artisphere's multi-media advertising campaign markets the Festival throughout the Southeast region in print ads, radio, and television ads. Artisphere is also marketed through direct mail, festival brochures, social media, the Artisphere website, and billboards
- $12,500 in prize money distributed to 7 award winners
- a well-educated audience who have good jobs
- great time of the year for pleasant Spring days
Now in its ninth year, the top-ranking Artisphere festival is an 
annual three-day event that gives arts patrons the rare opportunity to meet exhibiting artists while purchasing original works of art.
A supportive, art-loving community, beautiful setting, and over 600 volunteers make the Artisphere festival an enjoyable experience for exhibiting artists and the public alike. Renowned artist hospitality includes complimentary food and beverages, convenient set up, parking, security, booth sitters, and reduced hotel rates.
Artisphere is a 501(c)(3) non-profit art organization. Proceeds are used to produce the annual arts festival and are distributed back to local non-profit arts organizations as part of Artisphere's Volunteer Arts Partnership Program.
