Tuning Up: Checking in with Sam Wang + visual artists workshop
Good morning!
“Tuning Up” is a morning post series where The Hub delivers curated, quick-hit arts stories of interest to readers. Sometimes there will be one story, sometimes there will be several. Get in tune now, and have a masterpiece of a day. And now, in no particular order…
Photonola features Sam Wang. It’s a shot in the dark to be sure, but if you find yourself in the Big Easy through Dec. 29, there’s an #SCartists connection. 2012 Governor’s Award for the Arts recipient Sam Wang (individual category) is the subject of a 25-minute film in the Photonola 2021 film festival. Sam Wang: Persistent Discoveries is playing through the 29th. Born in Beijing, Wang has left an indelible mark at Clemson University where he has served on the faculty, teaching photography, for some 40 years.
2D or Not 2D? Next up in the SCAC’s Artist Entrepreneur Incubator workshop series is a track for visual artists (though it’s open to artists of any medium from across the state!). SCAC Artist Development Director Ce Scott-Fitts welcomes artists Mary Gilkerson and Tiffany Thomas will lead the virtual workshop “2D or Not 2D: Visual Art & Craft” on Jan. 11 from 6-7:30 p.m. Additional information and registration link here. Presented in partnership with One Columbia for Arts & Culture.
