The Johnson Collection



An exhibition so delicious, we had to serve up seconds!

In 2014, The Johnson Collection launched a celebration of Spartanburg’s food heritage with Plate to Palette, an exhibition that paired paintings from the American South with original recipes from representatives of our local culinary communities. Now, ten years later, we invite you to be our guest for a second helping of gastronomic artistry, as a new line-up of Spartanburg chefs, bakers, and restauranteurs contribute recipes inspired by works from The Johnson Collection.


Contact Blake Batten at bbatten@johnsondevelopment.net with any questions.

Hailed by The Magazine Antiques with having staged a “quiet art historical revolution” and expanding “the meaning of regional” through its “exhibitions, loans, publications, and institutional partnerships,” the Johnson Collection seeks to illuminate the rich history and diverse cultures of the American South.


Today, the Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William H. Johnson’s Boats in the Harbor to Anni Albers’ Connections, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
