DOLLY F. PARDI GALLERY | GALLERY at CENTRE STAGE
The Metropolitan Arts Council (MAC) showcases the diverse local visual art talent through two venues: The Dolly F. Pardi Gallery, located at MAC's headquarters at 16 Augusta Street in downtown Greenville, and the Gallery at Centre Stage, which is the lobby of Centre Stage at 501 River Street in downtown Greenville. Each gallery is dedicated to exhibits by local artists that rotate every 4 - 6 weeks. Refer to the information below for current and upcoming shows.
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.

SHELLEY CADE: People Are Strange
September 12 - October 17
Opening Reception: September 12, 6 - 8 PM
“My approach to expressing people with a paintbrush often gets weird. But the scratchy layers of paint, pencil marks, charcoal smudges and adulterated features — I’ve found — only enhance the story telling. Each of us comes into the world a blank canvas, and it's the brush marks of experience which tell our stories and shape who we are.” MORE INFO: shelleycade.com
Centre Stage Gallery
Gallery Sponsor: Clinkscales Chevrolet
MAC has collaborated with Centre Stage since 2005 to arrange exhibits in conjunction with each of the theatrical productions throughout the year.
This partnership has been vital in creating more awareness of Greenville’s visual arts community as well as the outstanding theater offerings at Centre Stage.
Since 2020, this collaboration has been sponsored by Clinkscales Chevrolet. We greatly appreciate the commitment of Billy Clinkscales to this project, as he has been instrumental in continuing this very important sponsorship.
