What was once an old Nash Rambler car dealership is now the front line of creative culture in downtown Spartanburg, S.C. HUB-BUB offers more than 100 nights of art, culture and entertainment a year in the Showroom Gallery and Performance Hall. Check out our event calendar for concerts, progressive art exhibits, film, experimental theatre, workshops, community forums and more.

HUB-BUB also hosts one of the nation's most innovative Artist-in-Residence programs. Emerging young artists come to us from all over the country to live upstairs, make their art, and interact with Spartanburg in inventive ways. Follow their experiences with this site's weekly AiR Journal and the four artists' blogs.

HUB-BUB is a program of HubCulture, a non-profit organization building community through dynamic art and ideas.

It's the first day of summer and the AiRs first official day/week of work.  Last week was all about getting settled; finding their way around town; and hanging out!  These folks are going to get pretty tight over the next 11 months and we want to make sure to start off on the right foot.  I think its working - look how awesome they look already!  Over the next few weeks we'll be mapping out plans for the year and getting to know each other better.  Hope you'll come out and get to know these guys.  We're expecting a lot of amazing artwork/writing and community art projects to form.  Until next week...
