This is a great opportunity to get your work out in the public, exposure to a bigger audience, chance to sell, the prestige of being exhibited at Artfields, and have your paintings printed in a high full-color catalog for all guests attending ArtFields ‘27. Several of our students and instructors have had great success at this event.
We highly encourage students to enter the Art Fields 2027 juried Art Festival show.
What is ArtFields?!
The annual ArtFields Festival has become a staple of the region and offers over $100,000 in cash prizes. The winners of two People’s Choice Awards are determined by the votes of people visiting ArtFields; a panel of art professionals selects all the other awards, including the $50,000 Grand Prize and $25,000 Second Place award.
Nearly 400 works of art will be on display in locally-owned venues, from renovated 1920s warehouses and professional art spaces, to the history museum, the Ronald E. McNair Life History Center, restaurants, boutiques and other shops. Additionally, the ArtFields Jr. Statewide Art Competition features hundreds more artworks from talented South Carolina students in grades 1 -12. During the ArtFields Festival, what was once one of South Carolina’s most prosperous agricultural communities becomes a living art gallery as we recognize, celebrate, and share artistic talent
