Support arts education for the students of Johns and Wadmalaw Islands and provide cultural enrichment for members.
For over two decades, Arts, etc. has been providing financial support to help increase the availability of arts education for students on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. Our 200+ members are women living on Kiawah Island and Cassique who volunteer, donate and join together regularly for cultural education. The majority of the schools served by our Program Partner organization from the Charleston arts community are Title 1 schools where the income profile of the district is often inadequate to support arts programming for their deserving students. This type of programming is known to enrich the overall education experience.
The Kiawah Art & House Tour has been our primary annual fund raiser for over a decade. Through the generosity of our business sponsors, ticket buyers, along with member and friend donations, we are able to offer 20+ quality programs annually, to over 2,000 students in the community schools provided by the high quality music and arts organizations in the Charleston area. (We are pausing the Kiawah Art and House Tour for 2025-2026, so that we can celebrate our 25th Anniversary with a Gala in April.)
