Greenville, SC – Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA) will hold its sixth Annual Showcase on Friday, August 6, from 6 – 9 pm in its renovated mill facility at 101 Abney St. in the Village of West Greenville.

Located in the Main Gallery, the Annual Showcase exhibition highlights over 100 GCCA members each year whose work embodies the talent and diversity of GCCA’s vibrant visual arts community. From contemporary paintings to functional ceramics and everything in between, there is something for everyone at the Annual Showcase exhibition.
