Artisphere Virtual Festival Goes Live On Oct 2-4

The 16th annual Artisphere Festival presented by TD Bank goes virtual this year and will be live at 8 pm on October 2-4.

Back in June, the organizers announced that the annual arts festival held each May that showcases talented artists in South Carolina has been canceled.

The annual Artisphere Festival is Greenville, South Carolina’s signature cultural event that engages, inspires, and enriches the community through a celebration of the arts.

Participating artist Michelle Jardines said in a news release, “Artisphere has come up with a new and innovative way to host a festival without compromising the quality of artists’ work, and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of this memorial event. Artisphere is always supportive of its artists, and there’s nothing quite like this community.”
