As a department of the City of Salina, Salina Arts & Humanities (SAH) has served a unique role in arts advocacy since 1966. SAH is noted nationally for its services as a valued component of balanced local governance and for its financial and other support to many area arts organizations. Among the longtime programs SAH directly produces are the Smoky Hill River Festival, Smoky Hill Museum, Arts Infusion Program, Horizons Grants Program, Community Art & Design, and Cultural Creative Connections Newsletter.
Key to the long-range focus of Salina Arts & Humanities is four goals that comprise the city’s Big Ideas Community Cultural Plan, adopted in 2008.
