The “Games of Chance” series questions the gamble of technology without limits. Human’s preoccupation with power and control without considering the consequences (atomic warfare capability; ozone depletion; population explosion; poisoned water, land and air; deforestation; etc., etc.) looms as a growing menace. Who will be the winners and losers in this high stakes game?

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
