TEASE II– Transatlantic Exhibition of Art in the Southeast

The Inaugural TEASE Tour successfully took place September 2014 as we welcomed five German artists to the Southeast. Over the course of a week, they traveled from Atlanta, GA, to Durham, NC, making stops in Spartanburg, SC, and Charlotte, NC, to showcase their work. In 2016 we will build on that success as we welcome four new artists, two from the Southeast and two from Germany, with guest artists in select cities only.
