Barnwell County Arts Council

The Barnwell County Arts Council is a proud sponsor of mural projects at our local schools.  Murals are often projects of the "Senior" class of a Primary or an Elementary School.  

Each mural depicts a special theme.  That theme may be a time in history, an artist who lives in South Carolina, or state standards that are pertitent to a grade level.  

Through the completion of murals, children are afforded the opportunity to take a walk through history and actively engage in learning and art! 

While mural artists complete some edge work, the students do about 85% of the artwork. Through these pieces of art, each child is afforded the opportunity to learn about perspective and layering as well as teamwork and cooperation.

Murals that are sponsored by the Barnwell County Arts Council can be found in schools within Barnwell County. BCAC Director Dana Bell said, “Projects of this nature reinforce classroom learning as well as promote the arts.”
