The annual juried art exhibition showcases recent works by South Carolina artists featuring painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and photography. Artworks receiving prizes are presented alongside a limited selection of pieces identified by the juror as meriting display. This year’s juror is Charleston artist Becca Barnet, whose precision and passion for replicating textures and preserving animals has helped her create an array of museum displays including creating work for the American Museum of Natural History, the SC Aquarium, and the Charleston Museum. She is currently focusing on creating exhibits and custom art installations under her company, Sisal Creative.

The 2017 Piccolo Spoleto Juried Art Exhibition is sponsored by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs and is open to all South Carolina residents. Awards for the Exhibition include $100 each for Best Photography, Best Printmaking, Best Sculpture, Best Painting, and Best Drawing; Best in Show is $500.

The 2017 Juried Art Exhibition will be held May 26 – June 11 at the City Gallery at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Waterfront Park, with an art delivery date of May 15.
