Lecture – Elizabeth Chew: Art & the American Revolution

Artwork depicting a sea battle during the American Revolutionary War.

The Horry County Museum presents a program in collaboration with Coastal Carolina University and the South Carolina 250th Commission on Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 1 p.m. This lecture will examine ways that artists depicted the American Revolution, in South Carolina and elsewhere, while it was happening and after independence was won. We will look at images of the war and its heroes that were available to newly minted Americans at the time as well as ways the war was remembered 50 and 75 years later.
Elizabeth Chew became CEO of the South Carolina Historical Society in January 2024.
