2026 marks the 22nd annual event for the top ranking Artisphere festival

in Greenville, SC. Despite its short history, Artisphere has distinguished

itself as both a regional and national highlight. A supportive, art-loving community, beautiful setting, notable on-site artist amenities and hospitality, and over 500 volunteers make the three-day event an enjoyable experience

for exhibiting artists and the public alike. Renowned artist hospitality includes complimentary daily meals, snacks & beverages, convenient set-up,

parking, security, booth sitters, and reduced hotel rates. Artisphere is

a 501(c)(3) non-profit art organization. Proceeds are used to produce the annual arts festival and are distributed back to local non-profit arts organizations as part of Artisphere's Volunteer Arts Partnership Program.



Established in 2005, Artisphere is a signature event on Greenville’s

busy cultural calendar that draws both locals and art buying tourists to Greenville, SC's dynamic downtown. Artisphere has been ranked a

TOP 10 Fine Art and Fine Craft festival by the Art Fair Sourcebook and

#1 USA Today’s Reader’s Choice Award for Best Art Festival. Additionally,

the festival is recognized annually as a Top 20 Event in the

Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society.
