Culture and Community at the Penn Center National Historic Landmark District is a partnership between Penn Center and the University of Georgia Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation. The project is centered around three major programs: Annual artist residencies; summer research residencies for students at UGA and partner institutions throughout the southeastern U.S.; and community conversations on issues of relevance to the communities of the Sea Islands region.
