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. The museum is open from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 7
p.m. on Thursdays and 1 p.m. to
5 p.m. on Sundays.
