Dogs and horses brought Sylvia “Sibby” Upton Wood and her husband, Max, to Camden 43 years ago. They moved from St. Joseph, Mich., a rich arts community, to Camden, which Wood early on considered a town “void” of the performing arts. Now, with Wood’s leadership, Kershaw County has the Fine Arts Center and the state of South Carolina has a nine-month residential program called the Governor’s School for the Arts.
