The South Carolina Arts Commission has a lofty goal. This important government agency has set its sights on developing for all of the citizens of our state a “ thriving arts environment , which is essential to quality of life, education, and economic viability.” To that end, the SCAC has long been committed to supporting the work of individual artists.

Because of its more commodious exhibition space , the CCA hosts a larger portion of the pieces that make up “ SC Fellows Part I...
