The Cultural Council of Richland/Lexington Counties is the centralized resource for the Arts Community in Columbia, South Carolina. We provide leadership, funding and business expertise to artists and arts organizations to support local music, theatre, dance and visual and literary arts. The Cultural Council offers a single source of arts-related information to patrons and media. We contribute to economic development and quality of life in the Riverbanks Region by promoting the Arts as the foundation of the knowledge-based economy.
