Work by South Carolina Artists

SouthernArtistry.org was an online artist registry designed to showcase the South's artistic diversity and excellence by spotlighting outstanding artists of all disciplines that live and work in the region. SouthernArtistry.org provided artists with an online platform from which to expand their audience, publicize their work, and articulate their artistic philosophy. The registry was developed in 2003 and administered by South Arts (formerly Southern Arts Federation), a not-for-profit regional arts organization.

At a time when internet technology was still new and relatively unfamiliar, Southern Artistry gave arts professionals an easy introduction to the web as a marketing tool, while acting as a platform for national visibility and regional recognition. However, as the internet grew more accessible, artists had less of a need for technical assistance with developing a web presence. Therefore, the program was concluded in December 2011 to pursue other methods of aiding individual artists in the region.
