The South Carolina Arts Commission Visual Arts Programs
Visual Arts Exhibitions
The SC Arts Commission mounts significant exhibitions of works by contemporary South Carolina artists as a means of promoting South Carolina artists both in-state and out-of-state. The Commission recognizes the benefit of working with other states in collaborative projects to promote South Carolina artists in other markets and to provide reciprocal opportunities for other artists in partner states. A Triennial exhibition is mounted once every three years and other exhibitions are mounted during the interim. The Triennial exhibition combines both a jurying and curatorial process, and is co-sponsored with the South Carolina State Museum. Other exhibitions focus on specific issues, themes, and trends currently facing the art world and are curated by guest curators or by curators of the host exhibition site. Living artists who are native or resident South Carolinians or who have done significant work while residing in the state are eligible for SC Arts Commission exhibitions. Calls for submissions and/or nominations for consideration of artists to be included in SC Arts Commission exhibitions are publicized through press releases, print media and a call for submissions through the agency's publications and through special mailings.
