The Southside Music & Cultural Trail | Stories Sung, Spoken, & Shared
Join us for a Citywide Celebration of Music, Art, and Storytelling!
The Southside Music and Cultural Trail has been planned and developed through the leadership of the City’s Rock Hill Economic Development Placemaking Committee, and greatly informed by community engagement and feedback of surrounding neighbors and local partners.
The trail includes 20 initial honorees which will memorialize the contributions of African American musical innovators and the historical places and moments that shaped the rich culture of Southside neighborhoods.

Summer Art Camps
Designed for children 6 - 12 years old, Summer Art Camps introduce students to artistic mediums and methods that they may not experience during their school year.
Students enrolled in Summer Art Camps not only engage with fascinating and unique art mediums, but also learn how to analyze work, think critically, and expand their creative minds through experimentation.
CREATIVITY IS CONTAGIOUS,
PASS IT ON.
