The SC Portrait Support Group was created in 2005 by PSA State
Ambassador, Patti Rishforth as an on-line forum (www.SCportraitsupport@yahoogroups.com)
to provide active support for the creative efforts of portrait
artists in South Carolina and to increase public awareness of
their work. The Artist's Eye shows at MUSC are a continuation
of the South Carolina Portrait Support Group's growth as an organization.
Many of the exhibiting artists are members of the Portrait Society
of America, an international, public, non-profit organization
dedicated to furthering the traditions of fine art portraiture
and figurative works. Founded in 1998, the Society has over 2,750
members in the United States and in 31 countries.
Also showing in the exhibitions are members of the ArtsAlliance,
a group of artists and printmakers organized in 2000 to promote
and exhibit contemporary fine art.
This select group including award-winning artists from all over South Carolina will present some of the finest examples of contemporary impressionistic/ realistic art in the country.
