Our mission is to promote and support Hilton Head Island as a vibrant and diverse island that is celebrated locally, regionally and nationally for the ways in which arts and culture enrich and enhance the community.

 

We use a broad definition of arts & culture. The definition includes the fine arts but also such creative expressions as traditional, ethnic, and folk art, music, the history and heritage of the island, landmarks, parks, and natural resources and sites.

 

The goal is for our definition of arts and culture to encompass our community’s customs, beliefs and traditions.

Our Vision For The Future

We envision recognition for Hilton Head Island as

A Vibrant & Distinctive Destination Known For Its Unique Arts & Cultural Assets

that serve a diverse community and create a richer quality of life.
