An Art Experience
The Art Party Event began in 2016. This marks our 10th year!
Stroll through Old Town Rock Hill, and experience art in a variety of ways.
The weekend features a juried art competition & exhibition, poetry open mic event, films, a workshop, open galleries, a drawing competition, and music and performance events.
Art Party is an art festival held in Old Town, Rock Hill, SC.
HISTORY OF ART PARTY
Art Party grew out of Rock Hill artist Harriet Goode’s annual studio and gallery sale. Each year she and other local artists opened their studios to encourage art gifts for the holidays. In 2016 she invited Friday Arts Project to help expand the effort into what has become a more encompassing celebration of Rock Hill’s arts community.
