About the Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts:
The City of Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts, part of the City of Kingsport, connects, coordinates and engages the public with a creative community. It operates a public art program, concert and theatrical events, the Carousel Project and a broad range of support to the area's arts organizations. They work in tandem with Engage Kingsport, a private 501(c)3 non-profit organization, in order to facilitate their ambitious and broad agenda. In addition to the Carousel Project, Engage Kingsport's goals are to collaborate with a variety of arts organizations as well as non-arts organizations, with the aim of increasing opportunities and outlets for artists of all types. As Kingsport becomes a destination for artists, new markets emerge for the creations of these artists. The City of Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts and Engage Kingsport are committed to turning cultural assets into economic opportunities. Friend us on Facebook: Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts
