Fund for the Arts

Fund for the Arts is a service organization providing financial and operational support to 12 member arts organizations through our festivals (Wine and Jazz Music Festival), fundraising campaign and the tireless efforts of our Board members. We believe that artists and arts organizations enhance the beauty and cultural richness of our community, and help drive its economic growth and prosperity.
Founded in 1981 as a result of the joint efforts of the Kanawha Arts Alliance and the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, Fund for the Arts raises funds from business, foundations and government, as well as individuals, to provide operating expenses for our 12 member arts groups.
