South Carolina Artists is a dynamic not-for-profit group whose mission is to promote visual arts in South Carolina through its many exhibits, programs, activities and festivals. We have served the Midlands area for over ten years. Organizing and managing creative spaces for emerging to established artists, unique hands-on instruction and exhibition opportunities in locally owned businesses. Providing members with a community to work together, encouragement, learn proper exhibiting techniques and promote awareness of art appreciation.

Our mission is to provide emerging, amateur and professional artists an opportunity to learn the art of professional display, the ability to show their work, learn public relations. Exhibits, events and more are coordinated for every member who signs up to participate. When you are a part of an artists community you are no longer alone.

As an artists-for-artists group, we are dedicated to providing public exhibits, professional support and ongoing inspiration for the community as a whole.  As artists we understand art must be exhibited to truly be appreciated.  Our mission is to visually enrich and strengthen the community by promoting the exhibition of local, professional art in work spaces and general public areas.
