From September 1 through November 1, 2021, emerging and established artists based in the Southeastern United States can apply for ArtFields, an annual nine-day art competition and exhibition in Lake City, South Carolina. Each year, ArtFields brings together art lovers, collectors, and curators who come to see Lake City transform into a town-wide gallery, allowing accepted artists to be part of the celebration while they compete for over $100,000 in prizes.
The Spring 2022 event will celebrate 10 years of ArtFields awarding life-changing prizes, helping launch the careers of countless artists, and acting as the catalyst for Lake City’s transformation into a burgeoning arts mecca. Jamison Kerr, the ArtFields director, is proud of the impact the event has had on all those involved.
