SC Arts Commission Grants for Organizations

Cultural Tourism Workshops

Cultural tourism partnerships provide new opportunities for expanding your markets, but how do you find possible partners and plan for success? The South Carolina Arts Commission Cultural Tourism Workshop provides a hands-on approach to creating new cultural tourism products, projects and partnerships.
