Explore the GVL Poetry Trail, a public art project celebrating local voices!

We hope you enjoy these digital stops —the physical trail markers and full interactive experience are being installed now! Explore the trail along Main Street in downtown GVL! The initial pilot program will span along Main Street from the Hyatt to the Greenville Drive. Wits End Poetry is proud to bring the power of the written and spoken word to Greenville’s public spaces and businesses.

The GVL Poetry Trail Poster Reveal was held October 24th at Coffee Underground! Thank you to Artisphere for kicking off the GVL Poetry Trail on May 9th to celebrate our winners of the inaugural GVL Poetry Trail contest! 

Founded in 2002, Wits End Poetry has spent over two decades fostering community engagement through the literary arts. The GVL Poetry Trail is the latest initiative to enrich the Upstate’s cultural landscape, offering a unique way for the public to engage with South Carolina’s vibrant "sense of place."

This project is funded in part by the Metropolitan Arts Council, The City of Greenville A-Tax, and the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. The GVL Poetry Trail was conceptualized and initiated by Kimberly J. Simms, who serves as the project curator and Executive Director/Founder of Wits End Poetry.
