2022 South Carolina Arts Awards to be broadcast on SCETV

Press Release

The South Carolina Arts Commission and University of South Carolina McKissick Museum are announcing an exciting first: the South Carolina Arts Awards ceremony will be broadcast on television Monday, June 13th, 2022 at 9 pm thanks to a new partnership with SCETV.

South Carolina ETV, the state’s public educational broadcasting network, will broadcast the awards ceremony through its 11-station TV network that spans the state. Viewers can access the broadcast via livestream on the homepage of SCETV.org; by using a digital antenna; or through cable, satellite, and streaming live TV providers. Further information about accessing SCETV is available here.

South Carolina First Lady Peggy McMaster and David T. Platts, executive director of the SCAC, will be joint hosts of the South Carolina Arts Awards for the third year running. They will recognize seven award recipients: three receiving the Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award and four receiving the South Carolina Governor’s Award for the Arts.

McKissick Museum Executive Director Jane Przybysz will introduce each Folk Heritage Award recipient:

• Justin Guy (Edgefield): artist category, traditional alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery
• Ann Phillips (Sumter): artist category, quiltmaking
• Duncan Rutherfurd (Aiken): advocacy category, custom knifemaking

Platts will introduce the four recipients of the Governor’s Award for the Arts:

• Darion McCloud (Columbia): artist category
• Dr. Ed Madden (Columbia): individual category
• Carrie Ann Power (Aiken): arts in education category
• One Columbia for Arts and History (Columbia): organization category

The partnership between the SCAC and SCETV also allowed the South Carolina Arts Awards to take advantage of an SCETV production team, led by executive producer William I. Richardson, that created the pre-recorded ceremony.

“This partnership with South Carolina ETV will help the South Carolina Arts Awards ceremony reach new highs in terms of production and reach. The quality of this broadcast, with the bonus of being accessible to nearly all South Carolinians, will showcase how valuable the latest recipients’ accomplishments are to all of us. The South Carolina Arts Commission and McKissick Museum are delighted to begin an exciting new chapter of the Governor’s Awards and Folk Heritage Awards,” Platts said.
