During the weekend of Nov. 12-13, Greenville Open Studios celebrated 20 years of welcoming the public into selected artists’ studios. This year, 150 area artists invited art enthusiasts to witness their creative process in the annual event presented by the Metropolitan Arts Council. If you missed Open Studios, you can still view works by the artists, which included those with Furman ties – Kelly Grant Bertrand, associate director of sustainability programs at the Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities; Bob Chance, ceramicist and retired professor of art; and Ilka Rasch, associate professor of German.<\/p>\n
