And inside the classroom, you'll receive outstanding support from
state-funded professional development programs.

Art Bar to celebrate
10th anniversary
BY HOLLY DUTTON
THE GAMECOCK
The Art Bar will celebrate a
decade of art and music with its
10th anniversary party tomorrow
night.
The creation of USC Art School
alumnus Clark Ellison, the Art Bar
features original artwork from
area artists, and the dance floor
and bathrooms display original im
ages plus impromptu additions
from patrons.
Live music featured at the event
will include Scotty Peek, prepara
tor atUSC’s McKissick Museum
and adjunct drawing instructor at
USC; the Art Bar Players, an im
prov group, will also perform.
Several disc jockeys will also par
ticipate in the celebration, includ
ing DJ Joey, DJ Jason Wilson and
DJ Sensoria.
The Art Bar is different from
other venues in the Columbia area
because “it is crafted and artfully
designed” and “aesthetically pleas
ing,” assistant manager Tim
Bedford said. “Our crowd is di
verse age-wise, culturally and sex
ual-orientation-(wise). We get a
pretty diverse crowd in here as far
as that goes.”
Peek described the venue as a
“personable place” and said he
“thinks art and music incredibly
similar.”
“I really just enjoy playing
there,” Peek said. “Really, the rea
son I like it so much is the people
that work there, the way you’re
treated, and it’s always free.
There’s never a cover. Sometimes
the idea of friends coming out and
having to pay (to hear me play) is
awkward.”
Peek will play an acoustic set af
ter the more intense bands tomor
row evening. Before tomorrow
night’s events, Peek will have an
installation show for his artwork
in Sumter.
“I’m more trained in visual art
and I feel I’m in control more,”
Peek said. “It think I am more of:
naive musician because my ski.'
is much more proficient in visin
art. I’m trying not to be so naive i
the ideas of communicating,
think they can be treated th
same.”
Other live music will indue
bands F-13, who Bedford describ*
as having an “old-scho<
blues/punk-type sound” ar.
Rockefeller Horsecollar, which b
longs in the “indie/punk scene
Bedford said.
Confederate Fagg will also pe
form. “They do a lot of ’80s mete
It’s really comedic. They dress u
It’s a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff
Bedford said.
Admission to the Art Bar is us
ally for ages 21 and up, but for tb
Saturday, the Art Bar will adnt
those 18 and up. There will be fn
beer from 5 to 8 p.m., free foo,
prize giveaways and drink spec is

old music.”
“Some people say I’m like a 70
year-old trapped into a 22-year-old
body,” he said.
Fortunately, fans of swing are
not necessarily out of luck. First
year history student “D-Troit”
Chris Rodgers, WUSC DJ in train
ing, is excited about the possibility
of carrying on Clark’s swing f<
mat after his departure.
When he spoke about leavi?
his show, Clark said, “I’m going)
miss it terribly.”
