Charleston Artist Guild Presents Show at Charleston Visitor Center in Charleston, SC
Throughout history many great art works remained unsigned, Leonardo didn't bother with the Mona Lisa, neither did Michelangelo with several of his sculptures. However, signatures will abound at the upcoming Charleston Artist Guild's Signature Show. The premier show, open for two dimensional work and sculpture to all South Carolina artists and photographers, will be held at the Charleston Visitor Center in Charleston, SC, from Apr. 2 - 6, 2007.
The Guild is pleased to have received entries
from artists and photographers across South Carolina to be presented
to Mark Kelvin Horton and Jack Alterman for initial jurying into
the show and awards. Prizes totaling $2000 will be awarded.
This will be the first show given by the Charleston Artist Guild
to include fine art photography after having recently opened its
membership to photographers. Jack Alterman, President of the Center
for Photography, will be the juror for photographic works. He
is a native of Charleston, where he opened Alterman Studios in
1980. He has been photographing professionally for more than 25
years after receiving his technical training at the Brooks Institute
of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. Alterman founded the Center
for Photography in 2002 to promote and teach the art and craft
of photography, attracting a group of instructors from among the
area's professional photographers.
Alterman will be accompanied as a judge for other two dimensional work and sculpture by Mark Kelvin Horton. After graduating from East Carolina University School of Art in 1983, Horton moved to New York City to begin a career in advertising and design. After eighteen years of living in New York working as a creative director in various advertising agencies and eventually founding his own design company, Horton moved to the lowcountry. He is represented by Horton Hayes Fine Art in Charleston, SC, City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC, and the Paradise Gallery in Boca Grande, FL. His paintings hang in numerous private and corporate collections and he was recently selected by the Art in Embassies Program to represent South Carolina artists in the United States Embassy to Canada.
