    What is
    The Johnson Collection?

    Through its exhibitions, loans, publications, and institutional partnerships, The Johnson Collection seeks to illuminate the rich history and diverse cultures of the American South. With holdings that offer an extensive survey of artistic activity from the late eighteenth century to the present day, the collection works to advance interest in the dynamic role that the art of the South plays in the larger context of American art. Located in Spartanburg, The Johnson Collection is the recipient of the Governor’s Award for the Arts, South Carolina’s highest honor in the field.
