Many artists chose to demonstrate during the Crawls and nearly all artwork is for sale. Crawl participants purchase maps to the locations and travel around enjoying refreshments at each stop.
BCAC and the Friends of the Hartsville Memorial Library work together each year to offer a community photography contest and exhibition. Photographers who live, work, or create in Darlington County can enter the contest. Winners and People’s Choice Awards are given out in a variety of categories. On the opening night of the exhibition, a gallery crawl is held between the Black Creek Arts Center and the Hartsville Memorial Library.
