Description
The South Carolina Arts Commission (SCAC) administers Arts Project Support to help artists and organizations deliver quality arts projects, programs, marketing, and events, or improve their artistic work and professional practice. Supported activities include public-space art, community arts development, professional development for artists and arts administrators, and technical, online, or virtual capacity building.
Project costs can include equipment, furniture, performance-space rental, professional services, website development, digital skills training, and cultural planning. Artists may also seek support for branding, event promotion, and printed or digital marketing materials. Professional development can include conferences, memberships, residencies, and public art training. Applicants located in or serving SCAC’s Opportunity Initiative Counties receive special consideration.
