The Mad Libs Art Show

 Kaleidoscope Artisan Collective announces The Mad Libs Art Show, a public event to benefit The Arts Grand Strand nonprofit organization. The show begins Monday, July 28, at 5 p.m. with an opening reception and runs through Saturday, Aug. 2, at 7 p.m. Kaleidoscope Artisan Collective, 915 Broadway St. in Myrtle Beach, is open Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturday 12-6 p.m.

With the theme “Making Art Fun — and Funny!” the exhibit features a collection of original work by area artists. Each piece in the exhibition has been created in response to a Mad Libs fill-in-the-blank story. Participating artists receive a completed Mad Libs upon registration and craft their work as a reflection on or exploration of the sentiments conveyed through the story.

“Mad Libs is a classic source of humor and fun that people of all ages have enjoyed for years,” said Joe Kohler, owner of Kaleidoscope Artisan Collective and president of The Arts Grand Strand. “We thought it would be fun to bring some humor into the downtown arts scene.”

The art show is open to professionals, novices, budding artists, and emerging artists of any age, with a $10 registration fee. It will feature public voting for a crowd favorite cash prize of half the registration amount as well as three top cash prizes: $150, $100, and $50. The show will be judged by special guest comedians. Prizes are sponsored by Alexander Insurance. All pieces in the show will also be available for purchase, and all proceeds benefit The Arts Grand Strand.

The Arts Grand Strand serves to promote, nurture, and expand the artisan culture in the Myrtle Beach area and connect and support area artists.

For more information on the Mad Libs Art Show, contact Kohler at 843-232-7642 or pugslyjoe@hotmail.com See less

8th Annual Art Show & Sale

Organized annually by Sunset Vision, the Art Show and Sale offers artists, patrons, and the public a chance to support and promote the arts in our community, and engage with the many talented artists in our area. ​

The show will feature artwork from some of the most talented artists from NC to SC and places in between in virtually every medium!  

  • We are a non-juried show. That means we accept artists at every stage of the artistic journey. From beginner to seasoned pro, we offer an inclusive opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent.
  • Tiny art exhibit. Many of our participating artists create mini masterpieces on tiny canvases (that we provide) and sell for $25 each. You can even have your tiny art framed onsite during exhibit hours. All of the proceeds support Sunset Vision.
  • Online gallery. Many of our artists participate in the online gallery that launches the first week of August ahead of the show. This provides our artists with additional exposure and gives patrons a sneak peek at some of the art available for purchase.
