About the Department
The Department of Cultural Affairs is responsible for ensuring that a
variety of quality artistic, cultural, and heritage-based opportunities
are available and accessible to the citizens and visitors of Savannah.
The Department of Cultural Affairs has four administrative employees and
four program employees. To provide a broad range of cultural and
educational opportunities, local, and regional artists and program
organizers are contracted by the department. The Cultural Affairs
Commission, an advisory board appointed by the Mayor and Aldermen, meets
annually to recommend purchases of cultural services from eligible
organizations within the community. The services include a variety of
programs such as theatrical and dance productions, classes, youth camps,
workshops, visual art programs, lectures, exhibitions and festivals. In
2016, this department will administrate the contracts with Savannah's
cultural agencies and directly produce over 1500 services for the
benefit of Savannah's citizens and visitors.
