UPCOMING EVENTS OF INTEREST
This publication is a great resource for what is happening in the Carolinas ! Be sure to download or bookmark !
The August 2017 issue of "Carolina Arts" is ready to be downloaded on our website at (http://www.carolinaarts.com/817/817carolinaarts.html) - all 57 pages of it. Our cover features a photograph by Alfred Stieglitz of Georgia O’Keeffe. The Reynolda House Museum of American Art in Winston-Salem, NC, will present an exhibit of O'Keeffe's works. But the real story is in my commentary this month about how we got a new Queen of our "Carolina Arts" Facebook page. And although we have a new Queen - we will never forget our first Queen. Now what was her name? I guess I'll have to download a copy and find out.

FIELD TRIP !!!
Franklin G. Burroughs-Simon B. Chapin Art Museum
When: Tuesday August 29, 2017
Linda Hester has arranged for a Museum Docent to take us on a tour of their exhibit
Feast Your Eyes will explore our culinary heritage as nourishment and beyond: a form of cultural, political and artistic expression; an enduring source of comfort; sometimes an object of obsession; perhaps a symbol of class, race or gender…and always a cause for celebration.
There is a second exhibit, Douglas Ballentine, a Charleston painter with international training has an retrospective exhibit of his works that pertain to the beach. This exhibit is optional, your car pool group may want to explore the Museum, or have tea and cookies with a view of the Atlantic ocean.
We will car pool from the Loews Food store just South of the state line off Highway 17. We plan to depart at 12:15 pm
There is no admission fee, but a donation to the museum would be appreciated.
if you plan to attend and also if you are willing to drive!
