SUMMARY:30 Americans Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:30 American Art Tour\nby Cola City Homeschoolers\nFriday\, December 3 @10:00 am\n$5/students; $10/adults\nCome see this popular exhibit at Columbia Art Museum\, exploring the works of 30 Americans. Space is limited! 1 hour tour followed by 1 hour studio activity to create a portrait inspired by the work of Kehinde Wiley. \nThis tour is geared for middle/high schoolers. Younger siblings may also attend with parent\, or the parent may drop off teen participant. \nLocation: Columbia Art Museum\, 1515 Main Street\, Columbia\, 29201\nCost: Ages 5 and up are $5\, adults are $10. Preschoolers are free.\nTime: Meet at the Museum at 9:45 so we can get our group organized and ready to tour\nGreeter: Kim Andrysczyk\, call or text her if you’re lost or running late: 803-307-4880 \n30 Americans features an incredible “Who’s Who” list from among the most acclaimed Black artists of the last few decades\, including Nick Cave\, Glenn Ligon\, Lorna Simpson\, Mickalene Thomas\, and Kehinde Wiley. \nThese artists explore identity\, triumph\, tragedy\, pride\, prejudice\, and wit in a provocative exhibition united by one nation and distinguished by 30 experiences. Being American is only one aspect of these artists’ identities\, and their understanding of what that means is as varied as the art on view. Their work provides a dynamic showcase of contemporary art offering an intersectional series of varying gender\, sexuality\, and class perspectives. \nThis exhibition asks viewers to consider our places in this country. What you see is both part of a national conversation and an opportunity to contemplate the issues that shape our own communities. \nTraveling throughout the United States for a decade with each museum tailoring its own selection of works\, 30 Americans has helped fuel the drive to fill historical gaps in American museum collections. \nSafety protocols for visiting the musuem: all school groups must wear masks while inside the building regardless of changes to city or county mandates.\n CLICK HERE for 30 Americans Pre-Visit Guide so you get the most out of the tour. \n\n
