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.
