A Conversation with Ken May – SC Arts Commission
May 5, 2011
The South Carolina Arts Commission is an autonomous state agency governed by a nine-member Board of Commissioners. It was created by an act of the state legislature in 1967 with a mission to build a thriving arts environment for the benefit of all South Carolinians.
For more than 40 years, the agency has worked to make it possible for every citizen in the state to enjoy and benefit from the arts, including those who do not have a lot of money or live in a large city. The Commission’s programs and activities fall into three major domains of public participation and service: Artist Development, Arts Education, and Community Arts Development.
