‘Holy grief’ discussion at next Artists U conversation
'Back Together, Not Back to Normal'
If we're honest, "normal" is a long way off.
Sure, we are seeing semblances of it here and there. According to
Andrew Simonet from Artists U (an ongoing partner of the S.C. Arts Commission), "there is a lot up for grabs in the next 12 months."
In an essay, he says:
Many of us have an understandable urge: Can’t we just go back to how things were in 2019? No, we can’t. Too much has shifted in our culture and economy and world. What comes next will be built, in part, by artists. We have sacred, essential skills for this moment: We look clear-eyed at what is and fearlessly imagine what could be.
And so "Back Together, Not Back to Normal" was born, giving artists a place to converse about the abundant twists and turns of navigating the transition away from lockdowns.

#SCartists can
register now for an April 22 conversation with Brooklyn-based
Devynn Emory, who will lead a conversation with the thesis, "our grief can be holy if we let it."
Emory is a mixed Lenape/Blackfoot transgender choreographer, dance artist, bodyworker, ceremonial guide and acute care and hospice nurse who spent the pandemic along the front lines in the later roles. Artists U invites artists to join Devynn's conversation about:
- grief and mourning what has been lost
- the traumas and truths of the past year, how they impact our bodies and breath
- how artists can resist the “get back to normal” narrative, reinventing rather than rebuilding
- how artists are useful to our communities and beloveds through these complex transitions
- grief and mourning what has been lost
- the traumas and truths of the past year, how they impact our bodies and breath
- how artists can resist the "get back to normal" narrative, reinventing rather than rebuilding
- how artists are useful to our communities and beloveds through these complex traditions.
That's Thursday, April 22 at noon ET,
and you can register here.

Art exhibit spreads wings in the Upstate
'Wings of the City' on display in Greenville
'Wings of the City' on display in San Antonio, Texas.
It's no secret that Greenville has really taken off...
As further evidence, the city is first East Coast landing spot of a famed art exhibit called Wings of the City. The traveling exhibition of Mexican sculptor
Jorge Marin's work has giant bronze wings outdoors in Falls Park and on the Peace Center campus. His "Alas de Mexico" sculpture, shown above, is part of the fun and obviously 'gram-worthy if you're so inclined.
The Hispanic Alliance of Greenville, a partner of the S.C. Arts Commission, helped make the exhibition a reality. Bank of America,
a Governor's Award recipient in 2018, is sponsor.

Governor’s Award recipient lands new radio gig
ColaJazz to entertain on S.C. Public Radio
South Carolina Public Radio (SC Public Radio) announced a collaboration with The ColaJazz Foundation to produce and broadcast a new, weekly limited series focused on South Carolina’s jazz community.
Titled "ColaJazz Presents," the series will air Sundays at 8 p.m. on all eight SC Public Radio stations, with the first episode slated to debut on April 4 – a fitting premiere date as April is recognized as National Jazz Appreciation Month. The first episode will spotlight the Columbia-based ensemble
Les Flat Out Strangers.
Host
Mark Rapp (right), executive director of The ColaJazz Foundation, will feature performances from a diverse group of South Carolina’s top jazz musicians, as well as interviews with those musicians offering an intimate glimpse into their lives, communities and passion for music. Consisting of 13 episodes, with the last one slated for broadcast on June 27, the series will utilize The ColaJazz Foundation’s ever-growing library of concerts, many of which were recorded over the last year in socially distanced recording sessions where COVID-19 safety precautions were followed.
Ed. note: Rapp is no relation to the author of this article.
“South Carolina is home to a growing jazz community consisting of some incredibly talented musicians and charming venues that provide a home to their performances. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with The ColaJazz Foundation to launch this new series and shine a spotlight on this burgeoning community,” said SCETV President and CEO
Anthony Padgett.
This project is the result of SC Public Radio’s ongoing strategy to ramp up local programming.
Now in its 48th year of broadcasting, the SC Public Radio network covers not only most of the Palmetto State, but also communities that border South Carolina, including Charlotte, Augusta and Savannah. This broad coverage area allows the network to reach an average weekly listenership of approximately 300,000 individuals.
“It is with great honor and excitement for The ColaJazz Foundation to partner with and to be supported by SC Public Radio. The weekly Sunday night ‘ColaJazz Presents’ radio show expands our ongoing mission in style, and we can’t wait to share the incredible jazz music being made in South Carolina by South Carolina jazz artists,” Rapp said.
Established in 2014, The ColaJazz Foundation is a community-minded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization focused on growing, supporting and promoting jazz in the Midlands through events, education, recordings, resources and advocacy. The ColaJazz Foundation is a recipient of the
2021 South Carolina Governor’s Awards for the Arts, the state’s highest award for achievements in practicing or supporting the arts.
