Artist-In-Residence

Poinsett State Park, Wedgefield

Poinsett State Park in Wedgefield, SC has announced the upcoming season of its Artist-In-Residence program. Open to all visual artists, the Artist-In-Residence program is an opportunity for artists to interpret Poinsett State Park and the surrounding area through their work. Artists are invited to submit applications for a one-week stay at a rustic Civilian Conservation Corps cabin at the park.

Cabins come fully furnished with bed and bath linens, heating, air conditioning, and a full kitchen. Each artist selected will be asked to contribute a piece of work representative of their stay at the park, to be displayed in the cabins and throughout the park. The finished artwork should characterize Poinsett State Park for present and future generations, and offer the public an opportunity to experience the many facets of the park.

A jury comprised of various artists and park representatives will select four finalists for the 2001 season. Selections will be based on artistic quality, ability to reside in a secluded environment, a willingness to donate a finished piece of artwork inspired at the park, and the artist's ability to relate and interpret the park through their work.

Artists wishing to apply to the 2001 Artist-In-Residence program should write to: Artist-In-Residence, c/o Poinsett State Park, 6660 Poinsett Park Road, Wedgefield, SC 29168, call (803) 494-8179, or e-mail poinsett_sp@prt.state.sc.us using "Artist-In-Residence" in the subject line. The deadline for applications is October 1 with finalist notification by November 15.

There is a $10.00 application fee.
