McKissick CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 this summer through Sept. 7. “Jonathan’s works have wide appeal throughout the South, and offer a unique and personal look into the African-American com munity h^ has known since child hood,” said Jason Shaiman, cu rator of traveling and temporary exhibitions at McKissick Museum. The exhibit receiving the most attention, however, is “Considerable Grace: Fifteen Years of the Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award Winners,” which will be at the museum through spring 2004. It’s a muse um showcase featuring works by recipients of the Folk Heritage Award, created in 1986 by the South Carolina Legislature to recognize lifetime achievement in the state for traditional folk art. “Without the creation of these national and state heritage awards and other concerted ef forts, many folk ways would be al most or completely lost to us,” said Alice Bouknight, curator of educational services at McKissick Museum. “Imagine if there was no one left who knew the art of making sweetgrass bas kets, Catawba pottery, pieced quilts, duck decoys or gospel mu sic.” Winners of the award have demonstrated excellence in a craft or folk art tradition with a long history of prac tice in South Carolina, maintaining or stimulating high levels of artistic achievement. Folk Heritage Award winners in the past 15 years include traditional string band musicians, basket makers, storytellers, wood carvers and gospel singers. The museum will also hold events such as a workshop May 17 on how to make Gullah grass dolls — from braiding the hair to crafting a garment to naming the doll. The workshop will be taught by Vermelle Rodrigues, who has been exposed to the art through a family tradition of grass-doll making. The workshop costs $25 and will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the museum. Early regis tration is recommended because class size is limited. The museum will also offer sto ry hours through May 29 every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a.m. for children ages 3 to 6. Children will be read a story relating to one of the exhibits, tour the exhibit and engage in a craft-related ac tivity. A partic ipation fee and advance regis tration are re quired for each child. Peggy Nunn, international operations manager at McKissick Museum, recommends that people take ad vantage of the unique exhibits McKissick is offering this sum mer. “We are the largest university museum in the entire Southeast, and we have the largest collec tions,” Nunn said. “What goes on exhibit here also goes on tour na tionally.” McKissick Museum exhibi tions are free and open to the pub lic.
