Open Doors '26 and New Studio Design!!

New look in my studio at the Artists Collective.

In preparation for this year’s Open Doors Weekend (Spartanburg’s open studios weekend, April 25-26, 10-5 and 12-5) and this week’s Art Walk (Thursday, the 16th, 5-8), I’ve added a display area for my photography work. This will be a permanent exhibit area to showcase my photographic images more consistently. Initially, the exhibit features a variety of topics, a sampling of the different series that will be featured on an updated basis.

You can check out all info on this year’s Open Doors weekend at https://opendoorstudios.art/all-studios. Meet the artists and see lots all of great art!

So if you’re in town this Thursday evening or the weekend after next, come by the Collective and check out my studio as well as the many other studios and meet the artists.  Unfortunately, I’m unable to be there on Saturday the 25th but my studio will be open and I will be there on Sunday the 26th. Hope to see you there.

Holiday Artisan Market 2025

The Artists Collective | Spartanburg 2025

I’'ll have some new work at the market, both in the main venue gallery and in my studio gallery. The Holiday Artisan Market is set for Nov. 4 through Dec. 27, and will offer a chance to get unique and special gifts - and maybe something for yourself - while shopping locally. The hours for the market will be Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Solomon Gallery.

The Artists Collective will remain open late on Thursday evenings, until 8 p.m., except for Thanksgiving. Special events also will be held during the market.

During "Shop and Craft Thursdays," visitors can make handmade holiday crafts, mostly ornaments, to take home. All materials and guidance from ACS artists will be provided free. The craft sessions will be available from 4 to 7 p.m. Nov. 6, Nov. 13, Dec. 4 and Dec. 11. Adults and children accompanied by a responsible adult may participate. Projects will vary, and light refreshments will be served.
