Saving The Gettys Center
The Tom S. Gettys Center has always been more than a building, it’s the flaming heart of Rock Hill’s creative spirit, a gathering place for artists, storytellers, and dreamers alike.
Now, that heart is at risk. But with that risk comes the chance to build something even stronger.
A movement is rising, led by artists, powered by community, and rooted in the belief that creativity should never be silenced or sold. The Save the Gettys Foundation was created to protect that legacy and keep the Gettys Center in the hands of those who cherish it most.
We haven’t reclaimed the flame yet. But together, we can.
Every act of support moves us closer to a future where the light of the Gettys Center shines brighter than ever.
