About Newberry Arts Center

The Newberry Arts Center was established in 2014 and is a division of the City’s Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department. In less than a year a solid arts program was established that includes programs for all ages. The mission of the Newberry Arts Center (NAC) and Newberry Arts Program is to provide quality arts experiences to all interested citizens and increase support for working artists while creating appreciative current and future art patrons by involving the diverse population and fostering local economic growth while enhancing the quality of life for all residents. The NAC also established and hosted the first ever South Carolina Clay Conference, an annual conference for clay enthusiasts held in Newberry each year.

CREATE Newberry, Inc., a non-profit that supports the Newberry Arts Center, runs the Artisan Shop. The Shop carries handmade work by local artisans. The funds generated by the Artisan Shop help support scholarships and free art programs for the community.
