The Fine Arts Center of Greenville County, the first specialized arts school in South Carolina, was established in August, 1974.
Students apply to the Center and are selected on the basis of talent, interest, motivation, and commitment to their discipline and are able to study theatre, dance, visual arts, music, creative writing, or digital filmmaking.
The purpose of the Fine Arts Center is to provide advanced comprehensive arts instruction to students who are artistically talented and who wish to take an intensive pre-professional program of study.
Students attend the Fine Arts Center five days a week in the morning or afternoon for 110 minutes of instruction, spending the remainder of their time in other academic work at the home high school.
Each year approximately 400 students attend the Fine Arts Center, and, of that number, some ninety percent go on to higher education.

The Metals Department is pleased to welcome internationally-known artist Boris Bally. His visit is supported by a grant from the Braitmayer Foundation for the Fine Arts Center Guest Artist Project and will tie into the visual arts curriculum of using discarded materials to make art. Boris Bally's award-winning work is both witty and innovative at employing the use of jeweler's skills on non-precious materials. His current body of work transforms recycled street signs, weapon parts, and a wide variety of found materials into objects for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-aesthetic in the form of objects, often useful, for the home and the body. Check out www.borisbally.com to see more of his arresting artwork.
Mr. Bally will be presenting his work in an engaging lecture free and open to the public on Monday, November 15, at 7:30, and we invite you to come.
