Ballet Spartanburg's Carlos Agudelo Awarded SC Governor's Award for the Arts

Each year, the South Carolina Arts Commission awards recipients with the state’s highest award for exceptional achievement in practicing or supporting the arts: the South Carolina Governor’s Awards for the Arts.

“Recipients are talented, successful, and dedicated. They always represent the best of South Carolina. They give of themselves to ensure access to the arts for all. By presenting them the Governor’s Award, we celebrate their achievements and thank these accomplished recipients for enriching life and culture throughout our state.” SCAC Board of Directors Chair Dee Crawford said.

Congratulations, Carlos!

Our heart goes out to Spartanburg’s Creative community as we’ve lost a trailblazing and inspiring Creative in our friend, Sandy Staggs. Sandy was the founder of South Carolina’s first LGBTQ+ theatre non-profit and a visionary who brought joy and inclusion for all in the Upstate. You will be missed dearly.
