2022-2023 SCAC Grant Application Available

Formed in 1994, the Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a member of the Florida Association of Local Arts Agencies, and Americans for the Arts. SCAC is a catalyst for the preservation of local cultural and historic heritage, including performing, literary, and visual arts and sciences, and serves to sustain, develop, and advance the cultural life of Seminole County. 
In 1995, the Seminole County Board of Commissioners designated SCAC as the official recipient of the Florida ARTS license plate funds. Through the Division of Cultural Affairs, State of Florida, and Florida’s Department of Motor Vehicles, $20 from each special State of the Arts license tag purchased by Seminole County residents goes toward a grant fund that supports the arts in Seminole County. Since SCAC was formed, more than $370,000 in grants has been awarded. 
Our Mission is to advocate in Central Florida for Seminole County’s art-rich community and our Vision is to inspire the cultural livability of the community through the arts.
