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.

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.

July 24 - August 21, 2026

Opening Reception: July 24, 2026 | 6 - 8 PM

"A passage is moving from one place, condition or stage to another, either physically or mentally. I believe we are always looking to move toward the light of abundance. . . . These images explore moving from darkness to the light." - Christine Swann

Passages by Greenville artist Christine Swann is a deeply moving collection of paintings that celebrates new beginnings. These pieces examine the idea of transformation and memory, and the journey toward abundance.
