This holiday season, ArtFields is sprinkling a little extra magic downtown — with help from some of the most creative minds around: our local students!

In partnership with Florence School District #3 and The Carolina Academy, ArtFields delivered [at least one] custom cut wooden Christmas trees to every school and challenged them with one joyful mission: make something magical!

Armed with imagination, a $100 Simpson Hardware gift card, and a $250 gift for their school, each group of students is transforming their tree into a one-of-a-kind holiday masterpiece. There are no rules, no limits — just pure Christmas creativity shining bright.

The finished creations will soon light up Sauls Street Park, across from the TRAX Visual Art Center, as part of Hometown Holidays. From whimsical ornaments to imaginative themes, this festive forest will showcase the heart and holiday spirit of our community all season long.

We can’t wait to see what these talented young artists dream up — and we can’t wait for you to see it too!
