Local artists to watch in Greer this year include several emerging and resident talents featured through festivals, galleries, and community arts programs:
- Alcine Perryman-Burow – An emerging festival artist known for thoughtful portraiture, recently spotlighted in Greer’s art events.
- Christina Laurel – A mixed media and installation artist working primarily in paper, with exhibitions shown regionally and in Greer City Hall. Her work features a Japanese aesthetic and dynamic paper art installations.
- The group of 12 local artists featured in the “Interwoven” fiber arts exhibit showcased at both the Center for the Arts and Greer City Hall, highlighting innovative textile and fiber work.
These artists often participate in prominent local events like the Greer Arts & Eats Festival, a family-friendly annual event celebrating creativity with over 80 artisans. The festival offers a platform for emerging and established artists to share their work with the community.
Further opportunities and programs for local artists in Greer include juried art exhibitions, artisan markets, gallery shows at the Greer Center for the Arts, and supportive mentorship programs provided by the South Carolina Arts Commission aimed at emerging artists.
These vibrant programs and events make Greer a thriving hub for creative activity and provide plenty of rising artists to watch in 2025.
