The 2022 South Carolina Office of Rural Health Art Competition is open, and wants to hear from #SCartists.
Each year, they solicit 2D artwork from artists living in South Carolina for consideration as the official imagery for their celebration of National Rural Health Day in November.
The art they want includes all visual art forms and photography, including (but not limited to!) watercolor, digitally altered pieces, paintings, photos, drawings, illustrations … and even NFT artwork that’s printable. Winners will be determined by a panel of local artists and announced in June.
This year, they’re asking #SCartists: what does rural South Carolina mean to you?
Participants must complete the form on their website and submit artwork on or before 11:59 p.m. on May 31.
