Benefits of the Cultural District Committee
Advocacy!
Unified voices help to shape decisions and strengthen the arguments for investment, long-term care, and cooperative inspiration.
Resources!
The old adage of “what’s mine is MINE, and the best of luck to you friend” is counterintuitive to the Cultural District Committee structure. Sharing of resources from new funding opportunities to marketing to reclaimed supplies and facilities — enhances growth.
Identity!
Let the ARTS shape Summerville. Together we can strengthen the value of multimedia arts and expand the vision of how the arts connect each of us.
Legacy!
Jointly we ensure that it continues. Look out for each other, find creative solutions to difficult problems, and reinforce the value of the arts.
