Andrew Wyeth: The Greenville Collection
Closed October 16, 2011 until March 14, 2012

Helen DuPré Moseley
through May 27, 2012

A native of Spartanburg who attended Converse College, Moseley (1887–1984) was Spartanburg's Postmaster. Self-taught, she began to paint in earnest when she was sixty, creating a fantastical crew of characters that some thought were a satirical view of local society. Moseley demurred on that point, saying "So far as I know, they exist only in my imagination." This exhibition is currently open but does not yet have an end date.
