Executive Director Susan Buser then spent the next six years helping to found and run a non-profit organization for alpaca farmers in a five state region. She was the elected executive officer of the organization for the first three years of its existence, and had the opportunity to build the organization from the ground up, train leaders, and establish programs. Susan has been the Executive Director at Trillium Arts Centre for three years, and has enjoyed the opportunity to help artists show and sell their work, and to provide arts exhibits, events and festivals for the community. Susan looks forward to the opportunities ahead for the organization, as the organization changes and grows. Contact Susan... |

| Our History We were founded in 2005 as "Travelers Rest Arts Mission" by Nichole Livengood with a mission to bring the arts to the community and artists of northern Greenville county. Projects in the early years included a poetry reading series entitled "Poets in the Forest", an outsider arts/folk arts fair "Tram Fair", a children's art camp, an art day for children, and development of services for artists. Under Nichole's dynamic leadership, and with the help of the board, this one-person effort grew into a successful community arts organization that offered a wide variety of programs and services to Travelers Rest and surrounding areas. In November 2007, Nichole decided to step down as executive director to allow more time for her to pursue her own creative endeavors, including starting her own consulting business and continuing her writing career. Since the initial mission of the organization has been accomplished (bringing the arts to an area with little exposure to the arts prior to this), the organization has been re-named to reflect its larger role and the growing and maturing arts community in northern Greenville County. Trillium Arts is currently seeking a new location from which it can continue to serve the Greenville area and northern Greenville county artists and residents. |
