In partnership with ArtPop and Adam’s Outdoor Advertising, ArtPop Beaufort will shine the spotlight on talented local artists who reside in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties by displaying their artwork on Adams Outdoor Advertising 10’6” x 22’9” billboards that will be seen by thousands of local residents and visitors as well.

Each billboard will include the artist’s work along with his or her name. A page on the Beaufort Arts Council website will feature the winning artists as well as having links to each artist’s website if they so desire. A jury of 7 leaders in the local arts and business community will be responsible for judging this open artwork competition and selecting the 10 entries to be reproduced for display

BAC Board Member and Chairman for the ArtPop Beaufort Program Marc Hayward says, “The Beaufort Arts Council is excited to offer this opportunity to the community. We’re truly making this a community wide effort and encourage all artists interested, to go to our website and submit their artwork. We are very fortunate to have Adams Outdoor Advertising as our partner. Adams is generously donating all of the billboard space as well as graphic support to make this event a reality. Stay tuned for more updates on ArtPop Beaufort as well as other exciting programs and events that BAC will be rolling out.”
