The North Charleston Cultural Arts Department was created by City Council in 1979 to plan for and support arts and cultural activities throughout the city. The department’s staff works to create a multi-discipline arts initiative that consists of a variety of programs and services for North Charleston citizens and visitors. Activities fall into five categories: general public, outreach, artist assistance, economic development and city history.
A vast array of arts, cultural, and history offerings touch the lives of an average of 95,000 program participants each year, with an additional 200,000 people served through public facilities.
