Community Grantee Spotlight: Wofford College Studio Art + Spartanburg Opportunity Center

This summer, Chapman Cultural Center awarded a community grant to the Wofford College Studio Art Program for their student and faculty project to paint a series of murals at the Spartanburg Opportunity Center.

Led by faculty members Dr. Youmi Efurd and Michael Webster, students Walker Antonio ’23, Megan Santos ’23 and Kate Timbes ’23 each designed unique murals for the center.

The Spartanburg Opportunity Center's mission is to empower adults, children, and families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in Spartanburg County.
