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.

Visual & Verse: An Exhibition of Poetry and Art

March 20 - April 24, 2026

In collaboration with Glenis Redmond, Greenville Poet Laureate, MAC invites you to the third annual Visual & Verse exhibit, featuring both poetry and visual art. 15 local artists were tasked to create a work on the theme “within”, and then 15 poets wrote an original work based off of each artwork. Together, words and images will invite audiences to step inward and outward at once, discovering how what is inside us also shapes how we see the world.

Reception: March 20 | 6 - 8 p.m.

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.

BENEATH THE BLOOM: Ryan Roth

February 20 - April 3, 2026

Opening Reception: February 20, 2026 | 6 - 8 PM

Beneath the Bloom presents a series of contemporary still lifes that reimagine Dutch floral traditions through a modern lens. Luminous flowers draw the viewer in, only to reveal vessels and environments that expose the complexities hidden behind beauty. Through these layered compositions, the exhibition invites audiences to look beyond the surface and confront the uneasy truths embedded within today’s visual culture. ryanrothart.com
