The South Carolina Arts Commission has a lofty goal. This important government agency has set its sights on developing for all of the citizens of our state a “ thriving arts environment , which is essential to quality of life, education, and economic viability.” To that end, the SCAC has long been committed to supporting the work of individual artists. Indeed, for over forty years, annual monetary awards have been granted to those arts and crafts practitioners who have generated work of “ superior artistic merit .” To honor the nearly ninety SCAC Fellows to date and to commemorate the Commission’s fiftieth anniversary , fifteen solo and group exhibitions have been planned across the state for 2017-18. The first of these shows is currently on view at two Columbia venues: the Center for Contemporary Art (701 CCA) and the McMaster Gallery on the USC campus. Because of its more commodious exhibition space , the CCA hosts a larger portion of the pieces that make up “ SC Fellows Part I...

When our children were 11 and 9, young enough to still be entirely inside the family circle but old enough to remember, we splurged on a “once in a lifetime vacation ” and rented a small farmhouse in Southwestern France outside the village of Saint-Cyprien. Each day, our son and daughter would say goodbye to the donkey that hung around our patio and we’d climb in the tiny rented Renault and drive somewhere in the fairy- tale beautiful Dordogne River region . On one of these excursions, we stumbled on the provincial city of Sarlat. An accident of history and several centuries of stagnant economy had left Sarlat’s center virtually unchanged architecturally since the days of siege engines and knights galloping over drawbridges. City fathers had wakened one morning in the late 1950s to realize that, leaning above narrow and winding cobblestone streets and alleys, they had one of the largest collections of intact medieval architecture in Europe. The French government subsidized restor...
