Calling all artists
It’s Time for Submissions!
The Cape Romain Lighthouses Bicentennial Art Show
Hurricane season reminds us that January 2027 will bring the two hundredth birthday of the first Cape Romain lighthouse, which, with its taller, more recent counterpart, has long guided sailors through treacherous waters and served as an important landmark for those approaching by sea.
To help celebrate this remarkable anniversary, the McClellanville Arts Council will host an art exhibit opening in the fall of 2026. All depictions of the Cape Romain lighthouses are welcome. Submissions may be new or old, including original artwork, historical images, and heirlooms in any medium, including sculptures and other three-dimensional pieces. (Please note: this show will feature only representations of the Cape Romain lighthouses, not of lighthouses in general.)
To submit, please complete an application form and send it to us along with a photo of the work. These forms can be downloaded from our website or picked up in hard copy at the McClellanville Arts Center during regular shop hours.
In order to include your pieces, we need to hear from you by June 1, 2026.
