Aiken Center for the Arts named Angel by South Carolina Secretary of State
On November 15, 2023, South Carolina Secretary of State Mark Hammond announced the Angels of 2023. Twelve Angel charities were recognized, the Aiken Center for the Arts being one of them. The Angels honored are organizations that have positively impacted the well-being of South Carolinians and that have demonstrated good stewardship of charitable resources. To be selected as an Angel, the charity must have devoted 80% or more of its total expenditures to charitable programs. It is an honor for Aiken Center for the Arts to be included on the list of Angel organizations in SC.

This performance marks a special milestone in our music program. Over the past year and a half individuals age 5 to adult have embarked on the journey of learning a string instrument. Enrollment in this program has tripled and moving our Spring performance to Amentum Theater gives all the students a chance to share what they have learned. Young voices in our Creativity Out Loud program will also be performing on this special evening. No cost.

An amazing Aiken Center for The Arts Team that make events and programs happen. A few may be quietly behind the scene but just as important as those smiling faces that greet you each time you step inside. Thank you for all that you do.
Great picture of a lovely group!
Great team! You need to provide a caption with everyone’s name so those of us with the attention span of a gnat can use it as a reference. Seriously.
