The Pickens County Museum has a new exhibit; according to the Pickens Couny website:

The Pickens County Cultural Commission is pleased to announce that the Pickens County Museum of Art & History’s “Thirtieth Annual Juried South Carolina Artist’s Exhibition” reception and awards ceremony was held on Saturday April 18. The exhibition will continue through June 11, 2009.

In addition to the twenty-three works of art singled out for special mention, there are one-hundred and seven others on the walls and pedestals throughout the museum’s Sealevel Gallery, G-1 Gallery and Focus Gallery. No matter where your individual taste in art may lead, you will find some satisfaction in this exhibition. The variety of work represented is a generous reflection of the community of artists presently at work in South Carolina.

The Pickens County Museum of Art & History is funded in part by Pickens County, friends and members of the museum and a grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
