COLORS art program at CFAC

In partnership with Spartanburg Art Museum, Spartanburg Workforce Investment Board and ACHIEVE of Spartanburg County, Carolina Foothills Artisan Center is very proud to host the COLORS art studio program here at CFAC.

The ACHIEVE program offers instruction to non-traditional students who are in training to receive their G.E.D. This partnership allows those students to now have access to art training by professional artists, using professional supplies.

We here at CFAC hope that this initial program opens doors to offer even more COLORS training available to all of the students in the Chesnee area.

Information on Summer and Fall Art Festivals & Contests

We've received applications from two different art contest/festivals. One is an international contest in France, one is a Fall Festival in Young Harris, GA.

I've put links on our website to each of the contests/festivals. The link to our website is:

I did notice that the website for Young Harris, GA was very nice and that they have lots of other festivals and events all during the year. It made me wonder what it's like living in that part of the country!
