Located in the heart of downtown, TJC Gallery showcases rotating exhibitions curated entirely from the holdings of the Johnson Collection, a private collection of Southern art based in Spartanburg. The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. Hailed by "The Magazine Antiques" as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," the Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. Individual works are loaned to partner institutions worldwide, and traveling exhibitions tour the United States with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors. In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored the Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction.Located in the heart of downtown, TJC Gallery showcases rotating exhibitions curated entirely from the holdings of the Johnson Collection, a private collection of Southern art based in Spartanburg.
