During this past 2021 – 2022 fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), the Arts Council remained active in the York County arts scene, especially in the latter part of the year, even as COVID developed new variants. We hosted the annual Blues & Jazz Festival in March (postponed from October) for more than 1,200 people and brought back our Annual Gala to help raise much needed funds. Our annual Ag + Art Tour, held the first two weekends of June, featured two dozen farm, food, and art sites and more than 80 artisans who attracted some 5,000 visitors throughout York County. We presented an array of visual artists in exhibitions at the Center for the Arts, and we implemented the new Old Town Night Markets monthly on the fourth Fridays that feature art and music throughout venues in downtown Rock Hill. In 2015, Rock Hill became the first state-designated Cultural District in South Carolina, a designation that was renewed in 2022. More than 30 artists maintain affordable studio space in two properties managed by the Arts Council within the district. In addition to arts programming, the Arts Council continued to distribute Small Grants to individual artists and organizations engaged in arts and cultural programming throughout the broader community.
