Submissions opened on November 14, 2016 and closed January 15, 2017 for artists in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties. The second year of ArtPop more than doubled in submissions from the first year, totaling 150 pieces.

Karas, Eve Miller, Sandy Dimke and Michael Reibel. Their winning artwork can be viewed on billboards throughout Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton, and Jasper Counties.
