25TH ANNUAL HORRY-GEORGETOWN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS JURIED ART EXHIBITION

May 4 – June 1, 2025 | opening awards reception Sunday, May 4, 1 – 3 pm

Get ready to see what our area high-schoolers have been up to in their visual arts departments this year! Museum visitors look forward every year to seeing the amazingly creative and skillful work that makes up this diverse and vibrant annual exhibition juried by Curator Liz Miller and Education Coordinators Jayme Carlson and Colin Riebe. After a full week of jurying at all participating high schools in Horry and Georgetown Counties, as well as a viewing visit with our area homeschool high school students, jurors widdle down the hundreds of submissions to the best of the best for exhibition. All art media, including painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, fiber and more , are accepted. This extraordinary opportunity for teenage art students helps them to gain professional experience in the Museum exhibition process. This year, exhibiting artist/environmental activist Mary Edna Fraser will judge the art. Fraser is a master dyer and painter, who creates the world’s largest batiks with the intention of drawing attention to the conservation of our beautiful coastal landscape. With over 100 one-woman exhibitions, including the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s (Washington, DC) first textile show, as well as its first solo exhibition by a woman, Fraser is a true South Carolina icon and one who is passionately dedicated to her craft and to the survival of our planet. Her exhibition, Awakening, is on view January 11 – May 18, 2025 here at the Art Museum.
