PACA Arts Connections is a dynamic community initiative created by the Pickens Arts and Cultural Alliance to inspire creativity, build relationships, and strengthen arts engagement throughout Pickens County.

Designed for artists, creatives, and community members of all experience levels, PACA Arts Connections provides opportunities to connect through hands-on classes, social gatherings, and interactive meet-up groups. Whether you’re an established artist, a hobbyist, or simply someone who appreciates the arts, this program offers a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Through a variety of creative workshops, participants can explore new mediums, develop artistic skills, and gain inspiration in a supportive environment. In addition to classes, PACA Arts Connections hosts casual coffee meetups, networking events, and curated “creative outings” such as gallery visits, paint parties, and local excursions—making it easy to build meaningful connections and friendships within the arts community.

At its core, PACA Arts Connections is about more than just art—it’s about fostering a sense of belonging and cultivating a vibrant, inclusive creative culture in Pickens County. By bringing people together through shared experiences, the program helps strengthen community ties while supporting local artists and encouraging creative expression.

Join PACA Arts Connections and become part of a growing movement dedicated to making the arts more accessible, engaging, and connected across Jasper and beyond.
