Mission

Founded in 1983, Emrys (a Welsh word meaning "Child of Light") has sponsored music competitions and presented concerts, art exhibitions, conferences, creative writing awards, poetry workshops, readings, and lectures. Response from the community and the cordial cooperation of regional arts organizations and colleges have confirmed the vital role Emrys plays in the cultural life of South Carolina.  Emrys supports creativity among emerging artists, established artists, and diverse audiences.  Our organization seeks to nurture, educate and collaborate to create world-class arts experiences.  Our goal is to expand the horizons of artists and audiences, including those without traditional access to the arts.  In 2004 the Emrys Foundation was awarded the Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Governor's Award for the arts, in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Arts in South Carolina. We invite you to join our award-winning organization.
