Tuning Up: #SCartists, SCAC fellows figure in prominent exhibitions

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…


It’s not going to be 95 degrees today, so even though this is a Monday, we’ve got that going for us.

Here are some tidbits on The Hub’s radar:

  • The Aiken Standard has a nice review/preview of 2019 Biennial at Columbia’s 701 Center for Contemporary Art. #SCartists abound, including S.C. Arts Commission Fellows.
  • More Columbia: Art Project Furthers Columbia’s Connection With German Sister City (Free Times). TL;DR: just click and read because you won’t be sorry. The Hub has lived in Columbia for 20-some years and had no idea we have a sister city… Kaiserslautern. In Germany. (Or anywhere. But we did know South Carolina’s sister state is Queensland, Australia.) Sadly, that is about as long as the partnership among the cities’ artists, so demerits to The Hub and kudos for art partnerships of all kinds. You’ll see several familiar names involved.
