Pablo Picasso once said that, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Art has the ability to breathe life into an ordinary day. Be inspired this weekend at Artisphere, Greenville’s largest annual art festival. This year, more than 200 artisans and 20 performers will be in attendance, inspiring the audience with their unique artistic interpretations. In addition to artwork, participants are invited to check out the culinary options, with food trucks such as Otto Izakaya, Bonjour Main, Persis Indian Grill, and more. Last year, more than 90,000 people attended the festival, producing a $12 million financial impact in Greenville, SC. Where you shop makes a difference; support local!
