Greenville – The local nonprofit Premier Arts Collective is set to welcome the community to its annual fundraiser, Kaleidoscope: An Immersive Art Experience and Fundraiser, on Saturday, Oct. 1. The event begins at 7 p.m. at Zen, a downtown venue known for its vibrant atmosphere.
What attendees can expect
Guests will enjoy a full evening of artistic immersion. Live performances by regional artists Jared Emerson and Aaron Cole will open the night, followed by participatory art experiences that invite attendees to create their own pieces. A curated gallery will showcase works from local creators, and both silent and live auctions will offer a range of artwork and experiences for bidders.
In addition to the visual arts, the evening includes live music, a selection of cocktails, and small bites prepared by local chefs, creating a festive environment for supporters of the arts.
Supporting therapeutic art programs
All proceeds from Kaleidoscope will flow directly into Premier Arts Collective’s mission to provide therapeutic art programs to individuals and communities across Greenville and the surrounding region. These programs use creative expression as a tool for healing, offering workshops for youth, seniors, veterans, and those coping with mental‑health challenges.
“Art has the power to transform lives,” said a spokesperson for Premier Arts Collective. “By bringing together artists, donors, and community members, we can expand our reach and bring therapeutic art to more people who need it.”
