This initiative partners with SCAC Fellows to ensure the State Art Collection remains a relevant and contemporary footprint of South Carolina’s cultural heritage.
Beginning with the FY2027 cohort, the SCAC will induct one (1) work of art per fellow in each year’s cohort into the SAC via the Recognition Award. This recognition brings works by contemporary artists in all eligible disciplines into the SAC as a part of this digital archive. Participation by fellows is optional, and fellows may decline or opt out of accepting the State Art Collection Recognition Award without affecting their fellowship status.
The SCAC will not own or physically house works recognized by this program, but will present them here and through other channels.
Expand a cohort to see artworks from participating artists.
