Art and community.
The Cherokee County Arts Council has been a presence in Cherokee County since 2011. We run monthly gallery exhibitions, educational field trips for local students, hands-on workshops, and a performance series that brings nationally and internationally recognized artists to the region. Our Open Studios program hosts a collective of working artists who maintain studio space at our facility and sell their work directly to the public - for most of them, this is the only dedicated space of its kind in the county.
