Confused? Charmed? Inspired? Good. Submitted for your approval is a glimpse at a reality much like our own, but where creativity roams free. Untethered from their dimension, these beings crossed over into our world to demonstrate their freedom. They chose their location carefully: Main Street Rock Hill, at the entrance of the Tom S. Gettys Center - a hub of arts and cultural expression for 4 decades. Speaking only through movement and expression, their message was simple: “KEEP ROCK HILL CREATIVE.” taken in Tom S.

I am incredibly honored to have been awarded the Ben Ardrey Volunteer Award at this year’s @yorkcountyarts Annual Meeting! Lately, I’ve experienced a major shift in my “purpose” or “calling” - Arts Advocacy is *equally* important to me as my own artist practice. It is my firm belief that arts and culture must thrive in order for a community to truly thrive! In early 2025, after 10+ years of actively participating in the Rock Hill’s creative community, I made it my primary goal to raise awareness about its value and impact. At that time, the city had just created a sale listing for our beloved arts & cultural hub of four decades, the Tom S. Gettys Center. I immediately began organizing within my community, working with grassroots organizations and local businesses, building new connections, speaking with the press, and advocating to city leaders. Working alongside fellow Rock Hill artists and art-lovers, we cultivated @KeepRockHillCreative - coining a formal name for an initiative that has existed for much longer than I have. KRHC continues to evolve to fit the needs of this community, while its audience grows larger all the time! Although the city is proceeding with the sale of the Gettys Center, I am immensely proud of the work we’ve put in and its tangible effects: greater participation in arts programming, larger crowds at events, and a deeper awareness of how vibrant the arts make our city! Living somewhere with such a strong creative foundation is a great privilege, and there is no doubt that the Arts Council of York County is the load-bearing centerpiece of that foundation. Their programming, events, exhibits, and tireless works has improved the lives and careers of countless artists, performers, and residents. I’m proud to be a studio tenant, exhibitor, curator, committee member, artist member, volunteer, and friend to the ACYC. I can’t wait to witness and participate in their bright vision for the future of the arts in our community! #yorkcountyarts #keeprockhillcreative #dylanbannister #artsadvocacy #rockhillsc taken in Center for the Arts by @keeprockhillcreative
