ArtFields – April 21-29, 2017 – is an annual juried art competition in Lake City, SC that awards life-changing amounts of money to artists in all media who live in one of 12 eligible Southeastern states. With more than $120,000 up for grabs, prizes are awarded based on the input of visitors to ArtFields and a panel of judges comprised of acclaimed visual arts professionals.

Approximately 400 pieces will be displayed in locally owned venues, from renovated warehouses from the 1920’s to a Smithsonian-qualified art gallery to upscale restaurants and start-up boutiques, in a mutual celebration of art and community. What was once one of South Carolina’s most prosperous agricultural communities now becomes a living art gallery as it demonstrates the best of the Southeast and recognizes the incredible talent here.
