The Arts Center of Greenwood

The Arts Center of Greenwood occupies the historic Federal Building in Uptown Greenwood, South Carolina, a landmark restored through a community-funded capital campaign and reopened as a nonprofit arts organization in February 2006. The building's 25,000 square feet include a premier gallery with high ceilings and arched windows, a reception hall, an entry foyer, a conference room, a catering kitchen, and a courtyard garden with a small stage, giving event hosts a range of spaces suited to everything from weddings and receptions to seminars and luncheons. An annual rotation of exhibitions fills the gallery walls, adding a distinctive backdrop for private events, while the courtyard offers an outdoor option for ceremonies or gatherings. The Arts Center's mission centers on enriching the community through exposure, engagement, and education in the visual and performing arts, and its role in the community was recognized with the 2008 Governor's Award for the Arts and its leadership in establishing Uptown Greenwood as an official South Carolina cultural district in 2017.
