from The Free Times/Post & Courier
“This academic year marks historic arts milestones for the University of South Carolina — the 100th anniversaries of the School of Music and the School of Visual Art and Design.
The programs have produced respected and widely recognized visual artists and musicians, as well as teachers, professors, curators, band leaders and heads of cultural organizations in the region and beyond. The faculty of both have enriched the arts ecosystem in South Carolina.
The School of Music started celebrations in the fall, while the SVAD kicked off in January with an exhibition of former and retired faculty members and alumni. Both are continuing with concerts, exhibitions, talks and other programs in the coming months.”
