THE SMITHSONIAN IS COMING TO GAFFNEY!!!
From January 11th to February 22nd, 2025, the traveling Spark! Places of Innovation exhibit will be on display at the Gaffney Visitors Center and Art Gallery with FREE ADMISSION! This exhibition, made possible by South Carolina Humanities, will include a traveling Smithsonian Museum on Main Street showcase, an immersive local exhibit celebrating the entrepreneurial and innovative history of Gaffney, local events/programs/field trips for our students and the general public, and a massive “Innovate Main Street” festival in My Downtown Gaffney - Main Street. This wonderful exhibition will be an inspiring and interactive experience for families, friends, neighbors, community leaders, and loved ones who will make memories while discovering how they can make an impact in our community and change the world.
