The Kathryn Bryan Metts Scholarship for the Arts
Kathryn B. Metts was a resident of Georgetown, SC, who grew up in Burlington, NC, and came to be one of the best known artists of the South Carolina lowcountry. She passed away in 2006 at the age of fifty-nine from cancer. Metts paintings, usually rendered in pastel and watercolor, are always distinguishable by their whimsical nature, loose, moving brushstrokes, and vivid color.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Metts’ earned a degree in art. She was devoted to promoting the Arts in Georgetown and the Waccamaw Neck; often donating her time and her art to further promote the arts among the community. Her paintings had become widely collected before her untimely death.
To kick off the creation of the Scholarship, the family of Kathy Metts gave permission for a very limited edition of 150 giclee prints to be made of a painting from their collection, “The Red Fish Inn”. These prints sell for $200 each. All monies from the donations and from the sale of the prints go to the Scholarship.
