Savannah River Site 70th Anniversary Exhibition Reception – Nov 19 | 5 – 8 PM | FREE
Exhibition Dates: November 6, 2020 – January 3, 2021
Gallery Hours: Monday- Friday 10 AM – 4 PM
Open first Sunday of each month from 1pm-3pm.
Please join us on November 19th from 5 to 8 PM for a reception for the SRS 70th Anniversary Exhibition. The reception is free and open to the public.
The Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta (AHCNA) is proud to host an extraordinary exhibit showcasing past and present scenes from SRS as part of its 70th year celebration. The impact of SRS on our community over the last 70 years can’t be overstated.
Prior to President Truman’s announcement of the site’s selection as part of a national defense complex, Aiken was best known as an agricultural community and a favorite retreat of wealthy 19th century equestrians. While they had stately homes known as the Winter Colony, their cultural impact was somewhat limited to their inner circle. With the advent of SRS, Aiken and North Augusta soon saw significant changes brought by these atomic age homesteaders from all over the United States. With families in tow, these engineers, scientists, construction workers and administrative staff brought diversity to our area and showed a keen interest in being engaged in our community. Site personnel brought with them a desire to recreate the very best of the arts and education they knew in their former communities. They sought ways to bring the arts to us through active volunteerism and their personal funds. All of the companies that have operated at SRS over the last 70 years have been very generous to the arts.
We hope you join us during this unique gallery exhibit, which showcases the accomplishments of the hundreds of thousands of men and women whose collective knowledge and intellectual capital have benefited not only Aiken but our nation.

Writing Dialogue That Pops off the Page | Reedsy Live – Nov 18 | 2 – 3 PM | FREE
As any reader will tell you, a great story can quickly become undone by bad dialogue. You could create well-observed characters with compelling backstories — only for them to fall flat as soon as they open their mouths.
For this live online event, join Reedsy editors Kate Angelella and Jenn Bailey for a dialogue about dialogue. In their talk, they will discuss:
- How to write engaging, realistic dialogue that glues the reader to the page;
- Common pitfalls to avoid; and
- Techniques that will help your dialogue sing off the page!
A live Q&A will follow after the presentation.
If your goal is to master the art of compelling dialogue, register now for instructions on how to tune in or watch the replay.

Ancient Cultures at the British Museum, A Virtual Tour – Nov 19 | 1 PM | $9.50
Not just blocks of stone… statues and temples from the Ancient world can tell us so much about the way cultures flourished and how they lived their lives.
We will look at the earliest cultures … Egyptians, Assyrians and the Greeks … you will be amazed at how advanced they were and both how similar and so different to today.
Ensuring we cover the most important pieces, I will also bring in a few less well-known items in order to explain how people lived, worshipped, and also their amazing art.
Seeing of course, the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Marbles and then bringing in a few surprises too. A fascinating journey over more than 2000 years BC.
