Charleston Society for the Arts hosts art show

The dogwoods and azaleas aren't the only thing blooming in Charleston! The town's art scene is also growing with the help of the Charleston Society for the Arts, founded in 2010 by a group of young people who wanted to expand the town's cultural offerings.

The Charleston Society for the Arts is proud to present the second annual Dogwood-Azalea Festival Juried Art Show from Friday, April 20, to Sunday, April 22.

The exhibit is open to any artist working in two- or three-dimensional media. Each artist may enter up to three pieces. All submitted work must be dry and ready for hanging with attached labels containing information about the piece.

Submissions may be dropped off at the Charleston Scout Cabin at the corner of Cypress and Stark streets, from noon to 4 p.m. Friday, April 13, or 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 14.

There is a non-refundable entry fee of $10 per piece or $25 for three pieces.

There will be an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 19, and all artists are invited to attend.

Prizes in painting, works on paper (drawing, watercolor, etc.), photography, 3-D art (sculpture, ceramics, etc.) and best of show will be awarded at 4 p.m., Sunday, April 22.
