The Simpsonville Arts Center at 110 Academy Street is set to welcome a new solo show by regional oil painter Cindi Berry. Titled “Here, There & Everywhere,” the exhibition opens on November 4 and runs through January 4, 2027.
What visitors can expect
The show presents 21 works that span three genres: still‑life, portraiture and landscape. Berry’s canvases capture familiar Upstate scenes as well as vistas from her travels to Virginia, France, Belgium and Africa. In addition to realistic depictions, the artist says the exhibition includes several “fantastical pieces that are full of bright colors and whimsy,” offering a playful counterpoint to the more traditional works.
About the artist
Cindi Berry, a longtime resident of the Upstate, has built a reputation for her vibrant use of color and meticulous brushwork. Her career includes commissions for private collectors and public spaces throughout South Carolina. Berry told the center that the exhibition reflects her desire to share the diversity of places that have inspired her, while also celebrating the everyday beauty of her home region.
Community impact
The Simpsonville Arts Center, a nonprofit venue that supports local artists and cultural programming, sees the exhibition as a chance to draw families, seniors and art‑enthusiasts into the downtown area. By highlighting a home‑grown talent, the center hopes to reinforce Simpsonville’s growing reputation as a hub for the arts and to encourage residents to explore creative expression.
Practical information
The exhibition will be on view daily during regular center hours. Admission is free, though donations are welcomed to support future programming. Guided tours and artist‑talk events are planned for the month of November; details will be posted on the center’s website.
