It’s been a tough year for the arts in Greenville. The community arts industry (theatres, festivals, concerts, etc.) contributes ~$240 million to the local economy each year. In the wake of canceled events during COVID-19, revenue and income losses for Greenville’s arts organizations were estimated to exceed $100 million dollars, if not more.
But the good news is here: Greenville’s arts scene is returning. Today, Metropolitan Arts Council (MAC) is sharing 9+ arts venues to revisit as they reopen post-COVID for the 2021-2022 arts season — all of which you can access with the MAC Art Card. 🙌
