Documentary Film: Uncommon Folk

The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV film Uncommon Folk.
There are some artists that fall outside of the definition of fine art. Sometimes referred to as folk, outsider, visionary, or memory artists, most are driven to create something that has a special meaning to them. Some use objects from their own backyard, or illustrate personal visions or cultural history, while others use art to cope with life. Some are celebrated locally, while the work of others goes unseen until their deaths. One thing they have in common is that they are destined to leave their impression on this world through their work. This film takes a look at some of South Carolina’s unique self-taught artists. The free screening begins at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
