The Arts Council of York County presents “Millscapes,” works by Chris Evans in the Dalton Gallery at the Center for the Arts.

Throughout this work, Chris Evans explores the gradual decline of mill towns and their transformation into bustling, modern communities that weave the past into the present and future. This project consists of a series of paintings, created as a contemporary, visual reconnaissance of Southern textile culture. The artwork celebrates the era’s industrialized urban and rural landscapes, as well as historic cotton fabrics. The paintings serve as a public valuation and tribute to important, creative resources found within the southern region. “Millscapes” provides local and visible evidence of the power of past artisans and artists to inspire today’s creative communities.

The Center for the Arts is located at 121 East Main Street, in Old Town Rock Hill. Galleries at the Center for the Arts are open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM, Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, every second and fourth Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and every second and fourth Sunday from 2 to 4 PM.
