VisitGreenvilleSC President and CEO Heath Dillard said events like Artisphere are a significant way for visitors to experience Greenville — whether it’s for the first time or the 10th time.

“People come for the weekend to discover art, but they find themselves dining in our restaurants, sleeping in our hotels, shopping in our boutiques and galleries, and discovering Greenville has so much more to offer in addition to the festival itself,” said Dillard. “Large scale events like this are such a great driver for tourism — they offer a specific reason and date to visit — and then visitors discover everything else Greenville has to offer as well. But they're also a tremendous asset to our community, supporting local artists and enhancing the cultural offerings for those who live here to enjoy on a regular basis.”
