DOLLY F. PARDI GALLERY

Gallery Sponsor: TD Bank

The Dolly F. Pardi Gallery at MAC, located at 16 Augusta Street in the historic West End district, serves as Greenville’s downtown public art gallery featuring contemporary local artists. The family of Dolly Pardi named the gallery in her memory in 2023. Prior to her passing in 2022, Dolly was a generous and loyal MAC support. She is greatly missed.

The gallery hosts the work of MAC’s local artist members as well as the annual Greenville Open Studios exhibit in November, the One-Stop Open Studios retrospective in April-May and the Flat Out Under Pressure exhibit in June.

Exhibits at MAC are sponsored by TD Bank.

LU WIXON: As I See It

July 24 - August 29

Opening Reception: July 24, 6 - 8 PM

This visually rich collection celebrates the landscapes of the Carolinas—interpreted through Wixon’s distinct style. Each piece reflects her deep appreciation for the natural world of our local area and her renewed gratitude for the ability to see and paint it.

As Wixon shares:
“Recently, I had an issue with my eyes that threatened my ability to see and paint. Fortunately, with the aid of an excellent medical team and modern chemistry, my vision is restored. Never have I been so thankful to see and celebrate the beauty of our surroundings through painting. This exhibit is made up of paintings of the Carolinas.....as I see it.”
