For around 20 years, my family lived in Charleston. I lived there for 10 of those years, but my photographic skills and exhibition opportunities increased after leaving Charleston. A recent viewing of an Alfred Steilitz photo exhibit in New York was the inspiration for heading back to Charleston to photograph remembered scenes of the “Holy City.” The architecture of Charleston symbolized a time of grace and classical serenity. Times have certainly changed, but the look is still serene.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
