Greenville’s Metropolitan Arts Council raised a record of $2 million in 2014, MAC executive director Alan Ethridge announced this week.
Most of that money helps support dozens of Greenville arts groups and artists.
“This allows us to provide record high grants to individuals, arts organizations and arts education programs,” Ethridge said. “It’s groundbreaking.”

Thanks to increases in fundraising, MAC is providing more financial support to local arts organization than ever before, Ethridge said.
Nine local arts organizations will receive $25,000 each in operating support. Those organizations are Artisphere, Carolina Ballet Theatre, Centre Stage, Greenville Chorale, Greenville Little Theatre, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, the Peace Center, the South Carolina Children’s Theatre and the Warehouse Theatre.
