Whom should I contact?

Working together as a team, SCAC Coordinators and Program Directors serve as liaison and resource for citizens and organizations in South Carolina.

If you are an individual artist, or if you are with an organization that serves the statewide population in a specific artistic discipline, the Coordinator of your discipline area is your primary contact. Discipline Coordinators are responsible for providing assistance to South Carolina artists through management of arts discipline programs created and served by the commission.
If you are with a local organization (including businesses and educational institutions), the Coordinator for your county is your primary contact. County Coordinators are responsible for providing assistance to the organizations within their assigned region of counties in South Carolina.
Program Directors are responsible for management of education and community arts programs created and served by the commission.
