Get to Know Us Better
The Fine Arts Center Partners was established in 2012 for the purpose of promoting, encouraging, recognizing, and sponsoring the Fine Arts Center of the Greenville County Public Schools. The mission of the Partners is to support the FAC in meeting the needs of the students relative to four main areas:
- Partnerships – that offer students the opportunity to participate in and give back to community arts organizations
- Sponsorships – to cover above and beyond experiences such as master classes, guest artists, field trips, and entry fees to regional and national competitions
- Scholarships – to assist students who want to pursue study in the arts over the summer or in college
- Material Resources – purchase of instruments and equipment for the Fine Arts Center students’ use that would not otherwise be available to them
