I am honored to announce that the Clay Center has asked Charleston Catholic art students to help curate a special exhibit, which will open on April 3, 2010. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about art, and to see firsthand what it takes to put together an exhibit in an art museum. We are so fortunate to be located almost next-door to this superb collection of works by artists from Romare Bearden to Andy Warhol -- with a little local flavor from artists like Charles Jupiter Hamilton and Paula Clendenin, too. We can't wait to work with this collection and discover new favorites. We hope you will discover pieces that speak to you, as well.
Next week, we will get together in the school's computer lab and peruse the Clay Center's online catalog of art and select our favorite pieces using the "My Gallery" feature. Once we have a few favorites saved, we will begin brainstorming concepts for the show. We'll post a few interesting concepts on this blog next week.
