a city-wide public art project
Go Figure is a public art project featuring our region’s best contemporary visual artists, inspired by current events and the desire to connect safely with each other again—without COVID-19, without racial injustices, and without exclusion.
In 2020, we as a culture were radically altered, as our collective narrative of who we are as a community was and continues to be strengthened, inspired, and encouraged to embrace all experiences, stories, and figures.
Our goal for Go Figure is to create a public art project that expresses how we want to re-emerge together as a community, united.

It’s going to an epic show at Fireforge with Little Lesley & the Bloodshots New Years Eve, Friday December 31st from 7-9 PM. Their stage show is one of a kind with soulful twang and captivating songs. They’ve been making friends & fans around the world since 2012 with their honest approach to American Roots music.
Little Lesley Swift lights up the stage, belting out her self-penned songs with gravel and grace. The band got their start in Brooklyn and quickly became a fixture on the national Rockabilly scene. They’ve had stand-out performances at the biggest and most renowned rockabilly festival – Viva Las Vegas, Nashville Boogie, Hotrod Hayride (UK) and on the the main stage at the Summer Jamboree festival in Senigalia, Italy where they performed for an audience of over 10,000. In 2016, Little Lesley & the Bloodshots signed with Western Star Records of the UK. Alan Wilson recorded and produced their “Doin’ Fine” EP which is still in regular rotation on BBC radio. In 2017 Little Lesley & the Bloodshots moved from Brooklyn to Greenville SC, quickly making waves and making friends. In 2020 they released their album “Love Songs”, and their music continues to evolve for anyone looking for compelling, passionate roots music with a great stage show.
Local nonprofits and school groups construct and decorate grand holiday postcards displayed throughout Greenville’s Main Street plazas.

From November 29 – January 3, 11 sheep are hidden in stores in downtown Spartanburg. Go to a participating store and start looking! There is no specific order to follow, and you don’t have to finish in one day.
When you find a sheep, write down the name next to the store name on your Trail Card. While you are looking, let the sheep teach you a bit about Christmas traditions and the ways to celebrate Jesus as God’s gift of love to the world. Plus, enjoy a Christmas treat or some shopping along the way!
Remember, sheep spook easily so be careful not to scare them! Please be sure kids are always accompanied by an adult while on the Trail. Please be kind and respectful at the participating stores!
Once you find the entire flock, text “Sheep” to 864-661-4726 for a chance to win a prize from some awesome partners!
Download your Trail Card here or pick one up along the trail!
