Clover, SC - September 14, 2020 -
Congratulations to Gallery 120’s Curator, Mari Matamoros, who received the "Community Champion Award" at the 75th Annual South Carolina Recreation and Parks Association (SCRPA) Conference in Spartanburg, South Carolina Monday night. This award recognizes an individual who is passionate in supporting an initiative and bringing it to reality in efforts to improve the quality of life within the community as a whole.
Mari has been curator of Gallery 120 since January 2018 and, during that time, worked with over 35 artists to promote their talent and art work, coordinate gallery exhibits and host artist receptions. She reflects the mission of Gallery 120 and has a passion for the arts and in seeing new and up and coming artists learn, grow, and gain recognition for their hard work and talents. Mari has made it her mission to bring the arts to the community of Clover, South Carolina, through both Gallery 120 and her own business, Mari's Creations, where she enjoys teaching and creating her own art. It is this ingrained love of the arts that has sparked this same passion in the Town of Clover community. Congratulations, Mari, on your well-deserved achievement!
