The Rivers flowing from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean have
inspired artists for centuries. Rivers to the Sea is a thematic exhibition based on art
inspired by the progression of water from mountain streams through the piedmont
to the low country of our Atlantic beaches. We invite artists to submit works that
celebrate the rushing of water over rocks, bubbling toward the flat water of the
midlands and through the marshes of the low country. All media welcome; small to
large-scale installations, indoor and outdoor works accepted. The exhibition will be
held at
The Art Center of Clemson’s Gallery and Sculpture Garden
212 Butler Street, Clemson, SC.
“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes;
so with present time.”
Leonardo da Vinci
