About

With over 25+ years of experience in the field of visual arts, promotions and event coordination organizers created the South Carolina Artists (SCA) for the sole purpose of creating viable locations to exhibit art, promote community and prosperity by connecting the public with the beauty of SC Art through exhibits in local businesses. This will serve to enrich the quality of life in South Carolina.

We are open to all forms of visual art and the diverse perspectives that come with it, however, due to the nature of public exhibition, certain genres may not be permitted (contact for more information).

Our group organizers volunteer their time forming connections with local businesses, organizing exhibits, maintaining communication with members, promoting artistic opportunities, rotations, art openings and more.

Organizing group activities actually began while still in high school but grew through my career as an artist. The joy and exhilaration of a well done show or exhibit is quite rewarding and not necessarily based on sales. As a producer and curator quality in both design and performance is a requirement. Developing the skills to work with others and gaining the understanding can take a lifetime.
My goal as coordinator is to encourage and mentor artists and to provide them with the tools and skills to develop proper set-up, presentation and design for art exhibits, to promote the use of artistic activities, support artistic development and improve the quality of life for all.
