Greenville Center for Creative Arts

"**Original review below edits** edit: I’d like to add that while GCCA has contractual rights to those spots as stated in their response, stickers on cars are a form of graffiti, which is a form vandalism. Vandalism does not seem like a sound business practice to me. It is also worth mentioning that the sticker, which was quite large, was slapped on my drivers side window - had I urgently needed to be somewhere and not had the time to sit there and scrape it off, it would be an obstruction of my view while driving, which is extremely unsafe. GCCA has a complete lack of respect for personal property, which was not addressed in their response to me. Complete lack of empathy, humanity, and respect for other people and their personal property. edit 2: I’d also like to add that there is nothing disingenuous about this review. Any business that is willing to vandalize personal property and lacks respect for others, is most likely a business that you should steer clear of. One of their values is “Ignite creativity and empathy in our community”. I’d like to highlight empathy here. In my email to them (not mentioned in this review), I let them know I have an autoimmune disease which is why I hadn’t moved my car bright and early in the morning due to a flare up. And I asked them if they could help me remove the sticky residue on my drivers side window. To which they completely ignored. Complete lack of empathy and respect for their neighbors at WVL. I guess if you’re not a patron of GCCA or donating to them, they don’t consider you someone worth extending empathy to. awful company... they take all of the parking from WVL residents and leave threatening stickers on your car that are extremely difficult to get off. I hope someone from the arts center is going to pay for the damage to my car from the sticker, I cannot get this sticky residue off to save my life :( WVL residents are very considerate and move their cars for the art center first friday events to allow GCCA patrons to park... not sure why GCCA is being threatening towards people who live here and show them respect. not to mention the sticker on my car said "final warning"... when I was never given any other warnings. I would love to see on paper that they OWN those parking spots and can LEGALLY tow me if I park out front. Not to mention WVL had car break ins recently so no resident feels safe parking outside the gate.... if its between parking in the "Arts center parking" (even though I live in this building) and parking outside the gate - with the risk of getting my car broken into - I'm choosing to park in the arts center parking. really not sure who gave them the authority to put damaging stickers on peoples cars. Would love to look into the legality of this... shame on you arts center."

"I was there with an artist as a collaboration. The gray loft was very peaceful and the vibe was very good."

"Robust and active town with many diverse restaurants and live music."

"Great space and really high quality art on view! I also love the broad range of informative classes and workshops that they offer!"

"Fantastic art school, community gallery and regularly changing exhibits. Be sure to visit the first Friday of each month from 6-9 for an open house style look at the 15 resident studio artists and an opportunity to learn more about the many classes and workshops available."
