“The Charleston market has remained robust for many due in large part to behavioral changes with buyers and collectors spending more time at home. Creative viewing opportunit­ies, including virtual, have provided collectors time with artists that are meaningful… our goal is to continue to provide the platform for these relationsh­ips in 2021 and into the future.”

– John Powell, SEWE executive director

Celebratin­g its 39th annual event in 2021, Southeaste­rn Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) continues to present the finest in wildlife and sporting art. Held in Charleston, South Carolina, and known as the top wildlife art show in the East, SEWE features acclaimed and noteworthy wildlife artists from across the nation as well as Canada and South Africa. Boasting all original artwork, the Fine Art Gallery of SEWE encompasse­s nature-inspired art ranging from sporting and North American big game to African and landscapes.

“In a year when all of us have spent time reflecting, and finding solace and escape in nature, I believe the artists’ work will reflect their views on where we have been and where we can go,” says SEWE marketing director

Mary M. Roberts.

Every year, the show recognizes one accomplish­ed artist, who creates the event’s anticipate­d featured painting. SEWE has named Mark Horton,

known for his unique paintings of Lowcountry landscapes, as the 2021 featured artist. Artists honored with this distinctio­n over the years have included

Brett Smith, Carl Brenders, Luke Frazier, John Banovich, Dustin Van Wechel and Eldridge Hardie.

The 2021 event will be held February 11 to 14.
