Our Mission

 is to advance the careers of Teaching Artists by fostering connection, community, and professional development—

ensuring a thriving and artistically vibrant South Carolina.

Why Teaching Artists?

Creative Living SC was founded on the belief of "Art for All"—that the arts are a fundamental part of the human experience, and universal participation in them is essential to a thriving community.

Realizing this vision depends on skilled and supported Teaching Artists—professional artists who have built dual careers as educators, ensuring that creative experiences remain accessible, even to those who may not see themselves as artists.

Art for All depends on Teaching Artists.
