South Carolina Art Schools

Still a bastion of old Southern culture, South Carolina offers art and design students the opportunity to live and work in a region filled with vibrant culture and economic growth. Large expanses of wilderness and rural areas offset the state's major cities, where you can find excellent colleges and universities and thriving business districts. Landscape design, interior design, and fine arts are all growing fields in South Carolina.

South Carolina Design Destinations and Art Inspirations

South Carolina is home to Brookgreen Gardens, the world's largest collection of outdoor sculpture. Just outside of Charleston, the state's second-largest city, lies Middleton Place, the oldest landscaped gardens in the United States. Within Charleston itself, you'll find the large Gibbes Museum of Art, one of the United States' oldest art organizations. The city's annual MOJA Arts Festival celebrates African-American and Caribbean arts, music, and culture. Art and design students who venture to the center of South Carolina can find its largest city, Columbia, full of independent theatre groups and a growing arts scene that compliments its revitalizing downtown.
