Come the end of 2021, a peaceful transition of power is going to take place in Hickoryâs West Wing. United Arts Council of Catawba County Executive Director Kathy Greathouse is retiring Dec. 31. Sheâll quietly vacate her office in what is known as the West Wing, a building on the SALT Block in Hickory, and hand off her duties to the next director.
Before I talk about Kathy, here’s a bit of arts council history from the organization’s website at artscatawba.org: “The United Arts Council of Catawba County was formed as the Hickory Arts Council in 1960. We were re-incorporated in 1979 as the Catawba County Council for the Arts, and we adopted our current name in 2006 to reflect our partnerships with our vibrant cultural organizations and our supportive local government.”
