Our Mission

Youth Endowment for the Arts supports equitable, quality cultural arts programming for Charleston Area Children.

South Carolina Supports the Arts

"We must work to ensure that every child in South Carolina from pre-school through 12th grade, has access to a quality, comprehensive, education in the arts, provided as a core component of the basic curriculum of every school. This basic arts curriculum should address all arts forms, including dance, drama, literature, music, and visual art, and explore the broad range of artistic expression, from the arts of traditional cultures to contemporary media."
