The Sumter County Gallery of Art’s Elizabeth A. White School of Art is located upstairs at the Gallery in the bright renovated classrooms of the old Haynsworth St. campus of Edmunds/Sumter High School. With classes running all year long and occasional student exhibitions, there’s always something new to see or do. From free school tours to home school group programs and from Arty Parties to community outreach through involvement in events such as Accessibility, the Iris Festival, Shaw-Sumter Streetfest and a variety of other local events, we strive to bring the arts to everyone in our community. Please contact Trevor Bauknight, Art Education Director, by phone at (803) 775-0543 to register for classes or if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you at the Gallery. Our hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sundays 1:30 p.m. - 5 p.m. Check us out at facebook.com/sumtergallery!
