Chapin Art Trail
A Community Art Project
Overview
CCAL is working with the Town of Chapin to set up an ongoing Chapin Arts Trail. The idea is to include all authorized public works of art and art related sites in the greater Chapin area on a website and other promotional materials that will enable citizens to engage in an ongoing self-guided tour of the area and its many works of public art.
This area is rich with talented local artists and art lovers. There are quite a few pieces of public art throughout the area and new ones are being added all the time. The Chapin Art Trail seeks to beautify the community with public art displays created by local artists.
I'm not an artist,
but I want to help!
One of the best parts of visiting an area is finding all the wonderful things that make it unique. Artwork is a vital part of that and enriches our daily lives. Murals, statuary, gardens and sculptures make places more interesting and memorable. The Chapin Art Trail, which we are actively working toward launch, is designed to celebrate public artwork and make it easier for members of the public to find and enjoy. All authorized public works of art in the greater Chapin area are mapped out on this website and in other promotional materials designed to enable citizens to better access and appreciate the art. You are encouraged to participate in an ongoing self-guided tour of the area and its many works of public art. You can go in any order and view as many as you like during your visit.
Located in Chapin, South Carolina, CCAL’s members, include painters of all mediums, photographers, sculptors and mixed media artists. All are welcome. We are a fully non-profit dynamic organization and depend on our members, business partners and donors to help us continue to grow the visual arts in our area in many varied ways. We provide on-location art exhibits at businesses, provide associate juror training, host an annual juried art show and, occasionally, provide arts supply funding to our local schools.
CCAL has been an active part of the community since we were established in 1995 and love the chance to give back to the town. Through this project, CCAL will assign artists from across the community to create public works of art intended for display throughout town.
