Board Member Highlight
Joel Smith, III
My interest in the arts has developed over
time, especially from my involvement with
the Spoleto Festival USA and from a growing
appreciation that the arts gives voice to the
spiritual nature of a community. I am also
convinced that a robust arts community is
critical to a successful economy. The Columbia
Museum of Art – with its location, its size, and its mission – is our most
visible and tangible sign of our region’s commitment to the arts.
My goal as a member of the Board is to help establish a sustainable
operating model for both certain and uncertain times. This should
include the appropriate mix of programs to serve the public and thereby
insure financial support. As a member of the finance committee, I will
help advance this goal remembering that programming and funding are,
of course, linked.
Leave a Legacy
Including the Columbia Museum of Art in your
will or estate plan can help you make a lasting
impact on the arts in our community for
generations to come!
