The City of Greer Cultural Arts Division offers a vibrant array of arts programming, festivals, classes, and productions for all ages and art forms. At the heart of the city’s arts community is the recently renovated Center for the Arts, located in Greer’s Arts District. From art galleries to events and classes, Cultural Arts offers a dynamic mix of programs and events for all ages.

The Center for the Arts is a dynamic cultural hub in a restored 1955 building that underwent a $2.5 million renovation before opening in 2019, blending history with vibrant arts programming.

The Center for the Arts features office and classroom spaces, artists in residence, and a 150-seat auditorium. Surrounding the center is a scenic two-acre park with walking trails, green spaces, a small amphitheater, and a playground, creating an inspiring space for creativity and connection.

The City of Greer Center for the Arts offers a dynamic Artist in Residence program, providing studio spaces for working artists in a collaborative and inspiring environment. The center features seven climate-controlled studios ranging from 95 to 160 square feet, each offering 24-hour key card access, free Wi-Fi, and access to shared amenities, including a breakroom kitchen and a rotating on-site exhibit area.

Artists in residence become part of a vibrant creative community, working alongside fellow artists while having the opportunity to showcase their work within the center. This program fosters artistic growth and engagement, offering a dedicated space for artists to develop their craft in an enriching and supportive setting.
