Nearly four years ago, a group of artists, arts council
personnel, and cultural heritage leaders began meeting to create a guild for
the artisans that live and create throughout the counties that lie along the
South Carolina Cotton Trail. Today, the group numbers 33 members and is known
as The Artisans of the South Carolina Cotton Trail.
On Thursday, August 30th, the Art Trail Gallery in downtown Florence will host an opening reception for a gallery show of juried works by the Artisans of the South Carolina Cotton Trail (ASCCT). The reception will last from 5:30-7:30pm.
