About this trip

Artfields is considered to be  THE SOUTH'S MOST ENGAGING ART COMPETITION AND FESTIVAL.

ArtFields started in 2013 with a simple goal: honor the artists of the Southeast with a week’s worth of celebration and competition in the heart of a traditional Southern small town.   Artfields is located in Lake City, SC, one hour west of North Myrtle Beach.  


More than 400 masterpieces will be displayed in locally-owned venues, from renovated circa 1920s warehouses and Smithsonian-qualified art galleries to upscale restaurants and start-up boutiques, in a celebration of art and community.  What was once one of South Carolina’s most prosperous agricultural communities becomes a living art gallery as the town recognizes, celebrates, and shares the artistic talent of the Southeast.   As you explore the town, you will learn about its history, enjoy a variety of unique shops and have opportunity to cast your vote on your favorite art.   Before leaving Lake City we also make a stop at Moore Farms Botanical Garden.   Nestled among fields of corn and soybeans, this is a dynamic and wildly beautiful blend of plant displays, bounding meadows and vistas of green-grey pines.

I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

Great show! I would do one stop before the show rather than 2 - the mall would have been enough. The bus was very nice.

Patty is a well-organized planner. This was my first trip with her and she is a lovely, friendly and courteous person to everyone on the trip. It was so much fun stopping at the glass and cermic place, then on to Crabtree Mall and finally to the play, Moma Mia. So much fun. I look forward to more trips.

Patty is a meticulous planner and so there is nothing to do but sit back and chat with friends while Donnie, the bus driver, smoothly transfers us from one location to the other. It was a day/evening filled with shopping, dining and enjoying Momma Mia at DPAC. Terrific experience.
