The Picasso Project
The Picasso Project is a student art competition for South Carolina students grades 6-12. The project is designed to recognize artistic excellence in South Carolina students while helping raise funds for the The Children’s Trust of South Carolina through the sale of donated student artworks.
The Children’s Trust of South Carolina
The Children’s Trust of South Carolina is a statewide organization for the prevention of child abuse, neglect and unintentional injuries. They develop creative solutions, such as The Picasso Project, while providing resources and technical support around the state.
The Picasso Project is a great opportunity for students to share their talent and gain exposure while supporting a great cause. Our very own Ashley Herron participated in the contest as a high school senior and won 1st place for her region and for the state. Years later Ashley is able to contribute back to The Picasso Project by serving as a regional judge.
