Bob Brown’s photograph of the ruins of the old Charleston Museum is a mixture of the classical and the contemporary. The semicircular ruins with Corinthian columns harken back to a bygone era (while making reference to ancient ruins) however, the juxtaposition of classical forms and palmetto trees and the Carolina sky – as seen through a wide-angle lens moves this work towards the realm of surrealism.

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.
