Hub E-vents: April 29

You want art. You crave art.

#SCartists and arts organizations want to fill that void.

They live for that. It’s a calling.

Yet in times of social distancing, that’s hard to do. Through the wonders of modern technology, many are trying and succeeding. So while we’re all staying home to protect vulnerable family, friends, and neighbors,  The Hub is stepping up to fill the void between artists and arts lovers. (Learn more about Hub E-vents here.)

Here are some events for today. (Or anytime.)

• This is the juxtaposition of several things artistic, some of which don’t get much attention on The Hub. (But The Hub thinks you’ll follow along just fine.) This spring, Columbia Museum of Art was gearing up for It’s Alive!, a unique printmaking (check) exhibition of horror and sci-fi movie (check) promo posters (another check, honestly) collected by Kirk Hammett, a founding member of the heavy-metal band (big check) Metallica (a long-time Hub favorite). Obviously you can’t venture to the CMA for this, but you can get a grand tour by the guitar-shredding collector himself. Rock. On.
• From museum at home to orchestra at home. Have a sonic experience at home, or even on a socially-distant walk, with the South Carolina Philharmonic. The Midlands’ professional orchestra is sharing archival recordings of favorite past performances through the upcoming weeks. Clap between movements! Hum along without getting shushed! Wear pajamas! Heck, we’ll say it again: Rock. Rach. On.
