programs

The Arts Fund is the centralized resource for the arts community, providing leadership, funding and business expertise to artists and arts organizations, and offering a single source of arts-related information to patrons and media.

Arts … Good to Great

The Cultural Council has been designated as the leader in the Chamber’s Good to Great initiative to assist arts organizations and independent artists to grow from good to great. The goals include: increased funding, increased local regional, and national exposure and recognition, increased federal arts and culture funding support, increased artistic and administrative capacity.
Art in business

The Art in Business program serves as a venue to highlight area artists, both established and emerging. Local businesses display art that is for sale and the Cultural Council receives a percentage of the proceeds. Current venues include Bank of America, Colonial Life, Palmetto GBA, and Vista Bank.
