GIAHA began as an all volunteer group of outstanding citizens with a mission to promote and strengthen the arts and humanities in Glynn County. In 1990, GIAHA assumed responsibility for managing the Ritz Theatre for the City of Brunswick. In 1991, GIAHA was designated the coordinating arts council for Glynn County and the City of Brunswick.

Over the past two decades, GIAHA's commitment to developing and expanding the arts and humanities in the community has grown to include cultural and community events, arts education programs and much more. A short list includes:

• Annual Performing Arts Series at the Historic Ritz Theatre, as well as special events throughout the year
• Annual Jazz in the Park summer concert series at the St. Simons Island Lighthouse
• Eclectic film programming throughout the year
• Arts education workshops, classes and performances for schools in Glynn County
• Visual arts and humanities exhibits in the Ritz Theatre Gallery
• Cultural Arts and Community Events Calendar of all area organizations and venues, compiled and published quarterly by GIAHA and posted on our website

The Ritz Theatre and Mary Ross Waterfront Park (both managed by GIAHA on behalf of the City of Brunswick) are available for rent for concerts, meetings, weddings, and all types of special occasions and programs. Please call the theater (912-262-6934) or email us for information on rental prices and services we can provide for your event needs.
