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.

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.

His masterworks have been displayed around the world for over a century… but never like this. Described as “an unforgettable multi-sensory experience,” Van Gogh Alive is a powerful and vibrant symphony of light, color, sound, and scent that compels you to leave the world behind and immerse yourself in Van Gogh’s paintings. Simultaneously enchanting, entertaining, and educational, Van Gogh Alive stimulates all the senses and opens the mind.

Artist Michael Fowler creates evocative abstract landscape paintings by incorporating vibrant colors with subtle, complex details. His semi-large-scale approach invites viewers to step into his work and build a sense of wonder and contemplation surrounding the natural world. Fowler’s artistic response in contemplating nature is to capture something of a landscape’s pleasantness, which is often unexpected harmonies of color and shape. In his latest exhibit, Arbor Huescapes, Fowler highlights the distinctive vegetation – primarily trees – and topography of North and South Carolina’s midlands and piedmont regions.
Fowler received his Bachelor of Arts from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas with a focus in Advertising Design. He then attended the University of Nebraska where he received a Master’s degree in Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Art History. From there, he attended the University of Memphis where he earned a Doctorate in Higher Education. Based in North Augusta, South Carolina, Fowler is currently an associate professor of design and computer graphics and serves as the Mary Durban Toole Chair of Art at the University of South Carolina in Aiken. His paintings are in a number of public and private collections nationally, and he actively exhibits in regional and national shows.
Please note: Arbor Huescapes has been rescheduled due to the COVID-19 crisis and will now open in fall 2021. The exhibit is on display daily September 18, 2021 – January 9, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. inside the Baker Exhibit Center. All works are available for purchase and a portion of sales will be donated to The North Carolina Arboretum Society.

Over the past seven years, Tina Freeman has photographed the wetlands of Louisiana and the glacial landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctica. In Lamentations, Freeman pairs images from these desparate regions in a series of diptychs that function as stories about climate change, ecological balance, and the connectedness of disparate landscapes.
