Stall Three Studio is a flexible, collection-based art platform based in Greenville, South Carolina, operating as an online gallery and producing traveling exhibitions and events. The studio leverages contemporary art to raise awareness, foster cultural understanding, and promote dialogue across communities and borders.
Moving beyond the traditional gallery model, Stall Three Studio embraces a fluid, project-driven approach with no permanent public space or fixed artist roster. Each release is a focused exploration of history, culture, and human connection, presented through the work of carefully selected international mid-career and established artists.
Through time-based collections, pop-up exhibitions, and collaborative programming, Stall Three Studio advances cultural diplomacy, storytelling, and meaningful engagement with art—locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Origin Story
Once an unoccupied horse stall, the 10x10 space in a red barn was given a new purpose when it became my art studio in 2022. A dedicate place to create, to think, and to observe was all I needed in order to let a new path take root.
This last horse stall in a row of three continuously remains an important space in my life. Its significance is now not only physical, but also symbolic. ‘Stall Three ‘ represents not only the importance of taking a leap of faith, but to also embrace moments of pause and reflection.
In today’s fast-paced world, we find ourselves jumping from topic to topic, not giving ourselves the time to slow down and engage with a thought deeper than the news headline. By taking the time to explore unknown subjects and ideas, one can cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for our world we live in. - Sterling Crawford
