Our Mission
Our vision is Travelers Rest as a premier "small town" for the arts, entertainment, and culture in the Southeastern United States! Since its inception in 2013, the Travelers Rest Artists Alliance (TRAA) has been committed to supporting community creativity and engagement by advancing the arts, entertainment and culture to enrich quality of life, education, and economic development in the region. Through ongoing events and programs aimed at mentoring emerging artists, supporting the business and promotional needs of individual artists, arts education, and public art/community outreach projects we will continue to foster community and economic growth opportunities in our area.
Message from the Board...
Last year, TRAA and the Travelers Rest area saw a tremendous increase in our local community to support the arts. We are so excited to be a part of that and with your support we hope to continue to foster that movement with programs, education and professional arts guilds and classes.
Of course, we want you all to be TRAA Members. So, please join us! Just click here: JOIN
