Arts Roundtable
The Charleston Arts Roundtable was formed to address the divergent needs of the Charleston arts community.
Members include representatives from local arts organizations and cultural affairs offices, independent artists, business leaders, and Charleston County School District staff members. This initiative will expand enrichment opportunities and resources for our communities by better connecting them with the prolific talents of Lowcountry artists, musicians, dancers, and theater experts and the vibrant organizations that support them. Furthermore, partnerships with our artists and art enthusiasts will improve resources and support for arts education in our schools.
