Legislative Arts Caucus

The SC Arts Alliance maintains the membership list of the Legislative Arts Caucus in both the SC House and Senate. This membership reflects the bipartisan support of the arts in South Carolina. Membership in this informal Caucus is free for legislators.

Caucus membership is not a commitment to support a specific arts funding or policy agenda — it is an opportunity for legislators to learn about on the economic, education, and community impact of the creative sector in our State.

Advocates are encouraged to contact their legislators and ask them to join if they are not already members. All legislators have to do is indicate their desire to join and we can add them to the list. Advocates are welcome to use the form, linked below, to confirm their legislator’s membership.
