OUR AREA The Arts Center is located in a National Heritage Corridor area that attracts many tourists as well as new residents because of all it has to offer. Beauty abounds, with the misty mountains supplying an abundance of pure water tumbling over numerous waterfalls to form the deep, blue lakes —– a great source of recreational opportunities. The hillsides are covered with lush forests creating a color spectacle in the autumn and a bounty of bloom in spring. In addition, Clemson University is only a few minutes away, offering a wide variety of sports, cultural, and educational opportunities. Recently named one of the best places to retire, Seneca offers much to explore with its historical Ram Cat Alley and downtown shops featuring art, antiques and collectables, in addition to food and entertainment facilities with lodging nearby. It is located on U.S. 123 in the northwest corner of South Carolina’s Oconee County and can be accessed easily from I-85, Exit 1 via scenic Highway 11, or Exit 19 via U.S. 76 through Clemson. Once in Seneca, follow signs to downtown Seneca.
