Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA) strives to enrich the cultural fabric of our community through visual arts promotion, education, and inspiration. GCCA offers programs for people of all ages, backgrounds, and economic circumstances.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of art classes, summer camps for kids, and rotating exhibits in several gallery spaces in the historic Brandon Mill complex in the Village of West Greenville.
GCCA galleries are open to the public and free to visit Tue-Fri, 9a-5pm and Saturdays, 11a-3pm. We are also open late on the first Friday of every month for the Metropolitan Arts Council’s “First Friday” art walk, during which you can meet our resident working artists, see their studio space, and watch them at work.
I went for a class today, the first art class in many years. I'm looking forward to going back. The vibe is cool.

Always love visiting the Greenville Center for Creative Arts! I have taken a few classes there including “intro to color pencil”, “sketching in the garden”, “painting like the impressionist”, “Realistic oil Painting” and “Watercolor in the Abstract”. I have had such a great experience with each teacher and grown so much in my artistic practice. The artists on site are so friendly and knowledgeable and staff is always so helpful. The classes have been amazing and well worth the time and money I have spent on them. I highly recommend!!
