The theme for this event is titled, “Jewels of the South.†Each artist in the festival is a bright light, a glimmering Jewel making their little corners of the world (or their 10x10 tent at the festival!) a beautiful and organic place for our attendees to visit and explore. The end result at the festival will be a beautiful strand of visual and sensory delights. Please join us October 17th-19th!!
“Jewels of the South†Folk Art Festival is a fundraising event presented by the Global Awareness Project (GAP), a non-profit organization located in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Their 2009 calendar is themed “What’s Your Cultural Vision?†and the artwork for the calendar is being supplied by art students at the Academy for Arts, Science and Technology. On Friday evening, October 17th , the students work will be judged by a panel of local artists and the fifteen prints that will be used in the calendar will be selected.
