That grant category has been phased out. SWO grantees were reassigned to our other operating support grant categories: General Operating Support and Operating Support for Small Organizations.
The SC Arts Commission has replaced Teacher Standards Implementation (TSI) Grants with Arts Teacher Support Grants, available starting in FY21.
The Arts Commission, in accordance with 504 regulations, provides support through grants and technical assistance for awareness, training, and other needs to artists and arts organizations for developing architectural, programmatic and attitudinal accessibility for persons with disabilities.
The South Carolina Arts Commission is committed to providing information to all constituents. If you are having difficulty accessing material on this site due to a disability, please contact us.
