Celebrated artist Jonathan Green is best known for depicting the people and landscapes of the Lowcountry. His work has been exhibited in major venues throughout the nation and abroad.
Also during the gala, the S.C. Arts Foundation will present former S.C. Governor and U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley with the McNair Award for his leadership and dedication to the arts and arts education in S.C. Established in 2007, the award is named for the late Governor Robert E. McNair.
