In Mauldin this year, several local artists are gaining recognition through public art projects, cultural events, and exhibitions largely supported by the Mauldin Cultural Center. Notable artistic activity revolves around the Mauldin Public Art Trail, which commissions a new artwork annually to beautify the community and showcase South Carolina artists. For 2025, artist Carey Morton will unveil “Bonsai Clouds,” a sculpture featured as part of this trail, adding to the diverse and growing local art scene.
The Mauldin Cultural Center itself hosts various events such as outdoor concerts, festival seasons including Amp’d Up Fridays, and the Mauldin Blues & Jazz Festival, which often highlight emerging local talent across music and visual arts. These public venues provide platforms for artists to showcase their work and connect with the community.
In addition, Mauldin’s Festival Season and other cultural activities encourage artist participation, bringing attention to promising painters, sculptors, and performers. The Center actively seeks submissions for future public art projects, fostering local creative growth.
For those interested in visual arts, nearby galleries and studios in Mauldin and Greenville support regional artists, offering further exposure and market opportunities. Community-driven initiatives like these make Mauldin a vibrant place to discover and support local artistic talent in 2025.
