The Pam Hollings McConnell Scholarship Fund was established in loving memory of Pam Hollings McConnell, who cared deeply about art, community, and the natural beauty of the lowcountry. As the longest serving president of the McClellanville Arts Council's Board at 15 years, she supported the Council’s mission to bring arts and art instruction to our beloved coastal village and beyond.

This scholarship provides support for students with financial need and helps make classes accessible. Your support helps to ensure that access to creative expression and art education is accessible to all members of our community.

The McClellanville Arts Council believes that investing in the next generation of artists is vital to the continued vibrancy of our community. Through this scholarship, we honor Pam's contributions to the arts and her dedication to making the arts accessible to all.

We’re thrilled to share that we’re matching donations to the Pam Hollings McConnell Scholarship Fund up to $10,000! This means your contribution can have double the impact. While our immediate goal is to raise $20,000, we’re dreaming even bigger. We hope to continue growing this fund, eventually turning it into a lasting endowment that will support aspiring artists for years to come. Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to making this dream a reality and honoring Pam’s legacy in a meaningful, enduring way.
