Our purpose is to raise funds, through donations and events, to support the arts in our greater community and to provide educational and social opportunities for our membership. Reorganized as Arts, etc. in 2014, the group became independent and expanded its support to include visual, performing, and literary arts. It has since donated $425,550 from the proceeds of the acclaimed Art & House Tour to area organizations that bring the arts to the young people of Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. The organization hosts expert speakers and arranges gallery tours to expand members' perspectives and insights into the arts.
