Meet Seth Prior
Featured Emerging Artist June 2025

Meet Seth Prior 

Seth doesn’t just think outside of the box— he redesigns it.
 
A senior graphic design student, muralist, and printmaker, Seth is more than a visual storyteller—he’s a bold creator shaping space, narrative, and community through his art. Known for his fearless use of color, texture, and type, he makes work that speaks loudly and moves boldly, whether it stretches across a wall or fills the pages of a hand-pulled print.
His creative reach extends beyond the classroom and into public spaces, where his murals breathe new energy into the environments they inhabit. Most recently, he was commissioned for a series of murals at DiNK’D PiCKLEBALL, blending dynamic visuals with playful design to reflect the sport’s vibrancy and momentum.
Whether he’s painting a public mural or printing a hand-bound comic, Seth creates with purpose, and that intentionality hasn’t gone unnoticed. He was recently named a recipient of the Artist Guild of Columbia Award, an honor that recognizes his unique voice, growing body of work, and deep commitment to creative community building. The award celebrates not just his talent, but his potential to lead and inspire.
Seth’s work is rooted in collaboration, storytelling, and accessibility. “Following graduation, I plan to pursue a career in freelance work,” he shares. “I enjoy collaborating with people to bring their ideas to life through art, and I’m excited to see where this path takes me!”
As he nears graduation from Augusta University, Seth Prior is already leaving a bold imprint on Augusta—and he’s only just getting started. With a growing list of public works and a clear creative voice, he continues to redefine what it means to design with purpose.
We’re proud to recognize Seth as our Featured Emerging Artist of June 2025!
