Each year, as part of The PICCOLO SPOLETO FESTIVAL, The City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs selects an art juror then hosts a Juried Art Exhibit of entries submitted by over 50 recent works of South Carolina artists in various mediums including painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and photography. The exhibit is featured at City Gallery, near Waterfront Park in downtown historic Charleston.

Marie Carladous, from Nice, France was this year’s juror. She is a graduate of Visual Arts from the College of Charleston, with a concentration in darkroom photography. The GAP GALLERY, an itinerant platform for emerging artists was launched by her this year.
