Greenville, SC – December 2, 2024 – Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA), a vibrant hub for the visual arts and a cornerstone of Greenville’s cultural community, is proud to announce Sara Grambach as its new Development Director.

Sara joins GCCA with over 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, business development, and fundraising, including leadership roles at several nonprofits.
