The Mercer County Creative Arts Foundation exists to help foster a thriving community and boost economic growth in Mercer county and the surrounding region through the production, support and encouragement of the creative arts. We support bringing filmmakers to Mercer County because of the many resources available. We offer educational programs for students wishing to make movies and we lend support to existing creative groups such as The Greenville Symphony Orchestra, and theater groups for special projects. The arts can bolster and create sustainable economic revitalization in our area.

Programs Supported by Your Donations

Mercer County Creative Arts Foundation is fundraising to create a Greenville Center for the Arts. There are numerous historic buildings in downtown Greenville that need to be saved and repurposed. Our goal is to be able to acquire and convert one of these beautiful buildings and make it into a home for the arts. Whether it is music. theater, film, or simply a place for people who love art to gather, the Greenville Center for the Arts would provide local artists a place to perform or display their art as well as a place for the community to enjoy the talents of our area. " The world is a complicated place, and there's a lot of division between people. The performing arts tend to unify people in a way nothing else does." David Rubenstein

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

We are a newly formed foundation. Your contribution will open a new area of development for our county and for those who have talents in the creative arts. When funding becomes tight, the first area that is affected is the arts. Our goal is to connect creative organizations to government and business resources offering support. It is also our goal to make the public aware of all of the creative endeavors that exist in Mercer County.
