ACBC History
Since its founding in 1991, the Arts Council has served the
cultural communities of Beaufort County. The ACBC maintains an ongoing dialogue
with community members, artists, schools, and businesses to keep its programming
fresh and pertinent to the needs of County with vibrant programs, innovative
ideas, and extensive constituent services. We are still a small but growing organization,
with a professional staff, a strong volunteer board, and several hundred annual members. Unique, innovative and responsive programming has become the trademark of the Arts Council, and
has brought statewide and regional recognition to our community. The organization listens closely to
its membership and to the community at-large, and places a great value on member comments,
constituent suggestions, and audience advice. Close networking with regional and statewide arts leaders and cultural organizations, and a strong
relationship with the South Carolina Arts Commission, has helped guide our organization from the
beginning. By working together, this has helped the Arts Council become one of South Carolina's most
active and best-known local organizations. In 1999—after less than ten years of service to the
community—the Arts Council of Beaufort County was honored with the Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award
as South Carolina's most outstanding arts organization. This incredible honor—a reflection of the
ongoing vision created by founders, constituents, board, and staff—was presented at the State House
by Governor Jim Hodges on May 5, 1999. As the Arts Council enters its second decade as a pioneering
arts organization, we thank the artists, educators, members, supporters, and community leaders who
have given us the strength and character to achieve all of our success.
