With Mother’s Day on Sunday, every Greenvillian knows that, this week, Main Street should have been humming with activity + excitement - white tents going up all around Falls Park, a colorful covering gracing the Eugenia Duke Bridge, sections of sidewalk being blocked off in front of the Artist’s Walk for creative chalk drawings.

Yes, we’re sorry to remind everyone, but Artisphere was supposed to be this weekend.

Since we can’t all pack Main Street, sipping wine and ducking in out from under the shade of artists’ tents, check out + follow the Instagram accounts of these local Upstate artists who will be showcasing their work at this year’s festival (rescheduled for August 21-23).👇
