What's new at Emrys

 

 

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 Foundation encourages women and minorities in the arts, including literary and visual arts, music, dance, theater and film. 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.
