Salkehatchie Arts
Promoting the Arts in the Salkehatchie Region of South Carolina
Salkehatchie Arts (SA) is a non-profit
corporation that promotes artists
working in or native to the region of
Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Colleton and Hampton Counties of
South Carolina.  It provides artists
with access to specialized training to
increase their artistic skills.  SA gives
artists opportunities to showcase
and market their skills, crafts and
products through the
Salkehatchie Arts Center.
This is an Economic Development Project made possible by the USC Salkehatchie
Leadership Institute, an outreach arm of USC Salkehatchie and supported by
The Western Carolina Higher Education Commission (WCHEC).

Boyhood Home
of
Jasper Johns
Recounting his  boyhood, he says,
"In the  place where I was a child,
there were no artists and there was
no art, so I really didn't know what
that meant.  I think I thought it meant
that I would be in a situation different
than the one that I was in."  He is
best known for his painting "Flag"
(1954 -55), which he painted after
having a dream of the American
Flag.  His work is often described as
a Neo-Dadist, as opposed to pop
art. Thanks to men like Jasper Johns
who were pioneers in the modern
era of art the Salkehatchie Region
which includes Allendale is full of
talented artists.  We are blessed  
here at the Salkehatchie Arts Center
to represent over 90 artists and craft
persons.
