About Sacred Heart Cultural Center

Sacred Heart Cultural Center, located in downtown Augusta, is a former Catholic church built around 1897 that now hosts cultural programming and art exhibitions. Visitors explore the fully accessible structure through free self-guided tours, view rotating art displays in the Art Hall featuring works by local artists, and browse the gift shop. The center offers an audio tour detailing the building's history and personal stories, while children can participate in an Eye Spy scavenger hunt through the Great Hall. Sacred Heart hosts choral concerts, holiday events, and an annual Garden Festival with guided garden tours. The venue also houses the Augusta Choral Society, Augusta Players, and Greater Augusta Arts Council. The center operates during weekday business hours and occasionally hosts rental events that may limit tour access. The fully ADA accessible building draws visitors from the Central Savannah River Area and beyond to its historic downtown location.
