From the CSAA:

The Saturday morning summit will focus on the outcome of the South Carolina Arts Commission’s budget cuts (currently in the process of being determined) and the importance of being advocates for the arts both in times of security and crisis. The Panel will be made up of community arts leaders representing organizations that receive grant money from the SCAC, and, based on the outcome of the budget proposals by the State, the discussion will focus on how not having this grant money awarded will effect your organization’s budgeting process and your season’s programming.  Prior to the Panel discussion, Scott Shanklin-Peterson, President of the South Carolina Arts Alliance will give a “Current Issues” presentation that will include an explanation of the budgeting process in South Carolina.
