"We are pleased to receive this grant from the SC Arts Commission," said Cheraw Arts Commission Executive Director Lindsay Bennett. "This support will assist in our efforts to create a thriving cultural community. The SC Arts Commission grant must be matched with local dollars. We appreciate the support from local businesses and individuals who help us meet this obligation of matching dollars though memberships and program sponsorship."
"To get a first-hand look at one of our activities, please visit the Burr Gallery at the Community Center and enjoy monthly exhibits," Bennett added. "Artisans of the SC Cotton Trail will be featured in October, and ceramic artist Nancy Butterworth of Columbia will have pottery on display during November. Also, the South Carolina Jazz Festival is planned for Oct. 16-18, visitscjazzfestival.com for festival information."
