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.

"Born in Charleston, South Carolina, James Mathewes Lagaré moved with his family to Aiken, hoping the drier climate would help mitigate symptoms associated with a diagnosis of consumption. Focusing on drawing, painting, writing, and inventing, Lagaré strived for fame but never quite reached that goal in his lifetime. This film will shed light on his short yet industrious life and bring attention to both his name and achievements."
