The Rice Museum’s Prevost Art Gallery is dedicated to promoting the visual arts within Georgetown County by providing a space for local artists to display and sell their work. The gallery aims to cultivate a vibrant and supportive art community through various exhibitions and events. The Rice Museum is located at 633 Front St. in Georgetown. This annual show not only provides a platform for artists to present their work but also plays a crucial role in enriching the community by fostering an appreciation for the arts. During this period, guests can explore and purchase the displayed artworks, providing a direct and meaningful way to support the artists and the ongoing efforts of the Prevost Art Gallery to promote local art.
