The Multi-Cultural Committee of the Fine Arts Center, which is co-chaired by Mary Jones and Mollye Robinson, is comprised  of manyindividuals who have worked to put together a celebration of culture with a special emphasis on Black History at the FAC.  The weekend includes a display of student work examining the contributions of great African-Americans, a Gospel Fest and the annual Heritage Tea.

The Gospel Fest will celebrate "community unity" through the singing of several local gospel choirs including Christian Musicians' Guild, Canty Hill, Camden First United Methodist, Father Oniwe, Bethel Worship Center, Union Baptist, Abundant Life, and Catoe's Chapel Church of God in Christ.   

The choirs will sing various genres of gospel music representing many styles. At the end of the evening, the audience will be encouraged to participate in a group singing with the choirs. 

Imagine a group of happy children, red ones, brown ones, yellow ones, black ones, white ones -- a rainbow of humanity -- singing and movin' with joy.  That is who we are now.  Children of the ever--expanding, creating God.  We will come together on Saturday evening at the Fine Arts Center of Kershaw County.  Walking on that holy ground, we will recognize and rejoice with thanksgiving, that light that shines within each of us -- Baptist, Methodist, Catholics, Jews, Presbyterians -- everybody a brother and sister.  Don't miss this opportunity to sing of Love with a capital L. -- Billy Shepherd
