Artist of the Year Award
About the Award
Through our annual Artist of the Year program, the TDC promotes the destination’s thriving art community while placing the spotlight on one talented artist. Each artist is recognized with the designation of “Artist of the Year” and commissioned to create a special piece of artwork for Walton County. These artworks can be found hanging in the South Walton Annex, the Visit South Walton Visitor Center and Conference Room, and other public places across Walton County.
