Arts Industry

Helping arts organizations and other arts providers have the necessary resources to deliver diverse arts experiences throughout South Carolina

The SCAC’s arts industry program helps accomplish that outcome of the strategic plan in a variety of ways:

Provide a robust grant portfolio for arts organizations and providers.
Support collaborations between arts providers and local, statewide, and national funders to maximize impact of public funds.
Develop diverse cross-sector relationships that engage arts and culture providers to address local issues in matters that may include economic, community or workforce development, healthcare, education, public safety, housing or capital.

These are direct programs of the SCAC or partnerships.
