New arts mag promotes Greenwood + S.C. art
Art Mill debuted this month
There's a brand-new outlet that intends to advance #SCartists and the state's arts scene out now online.
Writer Damian Dominguez
has the full story in the Index-Journal:
"With sharp, clean lines and a minimalist approach to design, the look of the magazine Art Mill is as deliberate and expressive as the art works depicted in it.
Art Mill is the brainchild of Spenser Weeks and James Elliott — a project inspired by their mutual love of the arts and born from an interest in seeing more people engage with art."
The inaugural issue is available at
ArtMillMag.com, and its stewards are seeking ways to allow for print publication. Various Greenwood artists are featured, and the magazine wants to work with artists from all disciplines.

ELEVATE UPSTATE grants available for community vibrancy projects
Application deadline is September 15.
Ten at the Top, an organization created to foster collaboration and partnerships across the Upstate, is accepting applications for its ELEVATE UPSTATE grants program. The initiative will award two $5,000 grants annually from 2013-2017 for programs that promote community and economic vibrancy in local areas across the Upstate.
Eligible applicants include neighborhood associations, civic or community-based organizations, non-profit organizations or local governments that are committed to developing and implementing programs designed to increase local vibrancy in Upstate communities. Applicants must be located in and do their work within communities in one of the 10 Upstate counties: Abbeville, Anderson, Gaffney, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg or Union.
Proposals may seek to produce a physical result, such as a mural, sculpture or signage that will increase the vibrancy and sense of place within a community, or implement the first of a recurring or annual event or program that helps grow vibrancy within a community.

Rare opportunity to view both parts of State Art Collection exhibition
[gallery link="file"]
For nearly three weeks, both installments of the largest traveling exhibition of State Art Collection work will be on display at the same time. Contemporary Conversations Part II is on view now through Jan. 31 at the Arts Center of Greenwood. Contemporary Conversations Part I runs Jan. 14 - Feb. 6 at three locations in Clemson: The Arts Center, and Clemson University's Lee Gallery and the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts.
This is the first time that both parts of Contemporary Conversations have been "on the road" simultaneously.
Curated by Eleanor Heartney, author and contributing editor to Art in America and Artpress, Contemporary Conversations is composed of 118 works by 95 contemporary South Carolina artists. The exhibition is designed to suggest both the quality and diversity of the state's cultural heritage and includes everything from hard-edge geometric abstraction to surrealist-tinged dreamscapes. Works are inspired by social issues, memory, local and national history, imagination, art of the past and aesthetic theory. Together these works reflect the many voices and diverse concerns of South Carolina artists.
Established in 1967 as one of the first programs of the South Carolina Arts Commission, the State Art Collection is composed of 448 works in a variety of media and styles produced by 277 artists. Visit the South Carolina Arts Commission's website to preview the Contemporary Conversations gallery of work and the list of artists, and read more about the State Art Collection.
Want to bring the State Art Collection to your community? Contact Harriett Green at (803) 734-8696. In addition to Contemporary Conversations, two additional traveling exhibitions are available: The African American Voice and Points of Departure: Vessel Forms from the State Art Collection.
