Founded in 1980 by music teacher Virginia Uldrick as a five-week summer program in Greenville, SC, the Governor’s School opened its full-time residential high school in 1999 with 126 students and celebrated its 25th graduating class in 2025.
“As a curator and parent of a Govie, it’s been a joy to see such consistently strong work from students in the visual arts program,” said Elizabeth Greenberg, Director of Exhibitions at the Coastal Discovery Museum. “And it’s so rewarding to see how the artists continue to grow in college and beyond.”
