ArtFields celebrated its 10th anniversary and exhibited 369 artists from 12 different southeast states in the competition. The nine-day arts festival ran from April 22-30, 2022. We were delighted that "The Darcy Inventory" was selected and included in this year's competition however, our greatest delight came from viewing the festival as attendees through the lens of South Carolina Sunshine. We were in awe and inspired by the artists, curators, staff, volunteers, and greater Lake City community that makes ArtFields a phenomenal - "can't miss it" - event! We hope you enjoy the art in this photo essay as much as we did.
