The 2017 Piccolo Spoleto Juried Art Exhibition is sponsored by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs and is open to all South Carolina residents. Awards for the Exhibition include Best Photography, Best Printmaking, Best Sculpture, Best Painting, Best Drawing, and Best in Show.
This year’s juror is Charleston artist Becca Barnet. Becca Barnet's work is driven by a fascination with natural history and preservation. Born in Spartanburg, SC, Becca is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. She also attended the Missouri Taxidermy Institute where she fine-tuned her special knack and patience for taxidermy repair – from cleaning to complete mount renovations. She’s put her precision and passion for replicating textures and preserving animals into the creation of an array of museum displays including creating work for the American Museum of Natural History, the SC Aquarium and the Charleston Museum. She is currently focusing on creating exhibits and custom art installations under her company, Sisal Creative.
The 2017 Juried Art Exhibition will be held May 26-June 11 at the City Gallery at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Waterfront Park, with an art delivery date of May 15.
