Scott Hagan, The Barn Artist, will arrive in the Upstate of South Carolina on Monday, April 23 to begin his latest project. Hagan is on a mission to paint the side of a barn or building in all 50 states. Hagan’s artwork can currently be found in 14 states, where he has been commissioned to paint a variety of logos, including the Ohio Bicentennial, John Deere and Harley Davidson. This is his first trip to the southeast.
Hagan’s first work in South Carolina will be painted on the exterior wall of the Blue Ridge Christian Academy gymnasium. Spectators are welcome to drop by campus on Tuesday and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. visitors to come see Hagan in action.
