Set in a quaint little frame house that's a work in progress, Art & Light is the home of several local artists' studios. Owner Theresa Roche has regularly changing displays which assure a fresh approach each time you visit. Many massive works to teeny bird oils on canvas no larger than 2" X 2" are available and offer something delightful for every patron. The gallery is in The Village of West Greenville, a recognized, highly regarded burgeoning artist's community in Greenville, SC.

Prices are reasonable and range from very affordable to moderately expensive. They never make you feel unwanted or uninvited and are happy to share their knowledge with you without your feeling dumb. Perhaps one of their greatest strengths is their excellent web site and use of social media. You can stay on top of what is going on and plan your visits accordingly. There is a reason they have been around for more than a decade. Give them a visit - it's fun!

Admission is also free but donations are accepted. I didn't realize until I visited that the museum is located on land that was once the home to Cherokee Indians who were forced to leave in 1830 by the Indian Removal Act. Many ended up in Cherokee NC as they escaped by the Trail of Tears. I like that the museum is trying to reserve history. The museum wasn't large although I think I missed the permanent collection and just saw the current exhibition which was great. I enjoyed seeing the work differently looking at it from different angles. I wish I was given more guidance if more work was on the second floor. But I can check it out next time. The work presented does focus on the big issues like climate change; social justice; women's rights; and immigration. So if these types of issues are important to you, I think you will enjoy the art created by these artists.

Tucked away off the campus of Clemson on a vast plot of land is the South Carolina Botanical…read moreGardens. Like some other college-affiliated gardens, this one is free of charge to all visitors. It's a bit tough to get your bearings at first since the property is really spread out, and requires quite a bit of driving to get from place to place, where first time visitors (like me) are sure to get lost along the way, even with a map of the property. I recommend starting your visit with the visitors center, carriage house, and geology museum, which are adjacent to the desert and Jurassic gardens. I tried to get intel on best places to see blooms at the visitors center, but staff weren't overly helpful in assisting where to explore, so I basically grabbed the map and drove off meandering around the back roads, winding up at the Hanover House (super friendly staff here) and the Caboose and President's gardens (some blooms in this area). Despite feeling a bit lost while exploring and encountering very few blooms, I did overall enjoy my visit to the South Carolina Botanical Gardens. I would rate it as a 3.5 out of 5 experience overall, as much of the land on property seemed not to serve much of a purpose, and you really have to spend time exploring (and getting lost) to find interesting blooms.

Oh, there was a horrendous line for the rodeo when we visited, even after we had paid, gone inside,…read moreand decided to leave. The line was still there, and people were still going in. Inside, people were lined up four to five deep at the rails, and you could only hope that your spot would allow you the possibility of a view to the action in the ring. I was disappointed with our experience, as was my husband. Because of the massive crowd, lines were long for food, drinks, and the restrooms. We decided we would rather leave than stay in that kind of atmosphere. The upshot of it all is: If you're going to oversell your venue, so that patrons can not find a seat, you should at least TELL them before they pay $40 to stand behind a crowd.
