NAWA - South Carolina Chapter Exhibition

Writers of literature have long used art as an inspiration for their written work. In this exhibit we are turning this around and using poetry as a device to conceive a work of art. The exhibit theme encourages artists to be inspired by the poetry of South Carolina poet, Lisa Hammond. In this show, we asked our SC Chapter members to engage with Hammond’s poetry and create a visual of their experience.

An exhibition exploring the beauty and diversity of South Carollina. From the mountains, to the ocean, to the Low County, works in paint, photography, sculpture and multi-media.

The Board members of the National Association of Women Artists, South Carolina, presents, "Anything Goes". We share our individual styles, mediums, creativity and strive to inspire other women artists.

~Hot Thoughts, Cold Emotions, Hot Theories and Cold Notions. Art emulating time, place, momentary observation or feeling~A sassy, bold exhibit to kick off the summer, and shake off the pandemic blues. These works of art emulate time, place, a momentary observation, or a feeling we have universally experienced. “The 'Story of my life, I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop,” says Sugar Kane Kowalczyk played by Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like it Hot”. 

Congratulations to the 27 NAWA South Carolina Artists, and the award recipients, whose work was exhibited at the Aiken Center for the Arts. 

“Carefully crafted words can paint a picture; carefully crafted art can tell a story.”  In Conjunction with the Pat Conroy Literary Center NAWA artists share in the inspiration of Pat Conroy and their own inspirational journeys as painters, photographers, and multi-media artists. Each work in this exhibition is a small chapter of expression representing that which has motivated each artist to create these 12x12 visual narratives.

 An exploration of the influences which have become the visual language of art- The exhibit coincided with the Pat Conroy Literary Festival and Crescendo, the National month of Arts and Humanities Celebration on Hilton Head Island, and honor his writing and community service.
