  • Good Art Co. curates a few "types" of shows to rotate through every year. We intentionally seek out shows or ideas that reflect our "4 C's"—exhibitions that focus on or promote: CURRENT (reflecting a trending topic we're seeing in the Upstate), CULTURE (reflecting something unique about an Upstate community), CAUSES (reflecting a nonprofit or charitable cause), and COMMUNITY (reflecting a local group or somehow lifting up a local group).

  • You can send us a message on our "Contact" page under the category "artists and creatives." We will get back in touch if the show or idea is in line with our mission and if we forsee a potential timeslot opening. Please also subscribe to our newsletter, and follow us on social! We send our calls for artists via email and social media.

  • We send out calls for artists every few months. To be alerted of those, please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social!

  • Good Art Co. handles everything: show installation, promotion, media and publicity, opening and closing receptions + food and drinks, sales and sales tax, packaging and de-installation, and more. The artist is responsible for dropping off and picking up work, although we can arrange help. Good Art Co. takes a commision of 30% for every sale within our gallery and shop; this directly funds our 501c3 free programming for the community.

    FIGURES & FACES was our first mixed-media group exhibition featuring new works by local and regional artists making art around the theme of the human figure.
