Pickens County Museum of Art & History in Pickens, SC, Offers Exhibit on African American Traditional Arts
The Pickens County Cultural Commission invites you to join them at the Pickens County Museum of Art & History in Pickens, SC, for the exhibition, LIVING TRADITIONS: African American Crafts & Traditional Arts. This entertaining exhibition of traditional African American quilts, clothing, baskets, pottery, dolls and Caribbean-style steel drums will remain on display through Feb. 15, 2003. The exhibit is sponsored in part by the Anderson Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Many African American crafts and traditional arts follow a line all the way back through American history, and then, across the Atlantic Ocean to the West Coast of Africa. The colors, patterns, symbols and meanings of art made by people there hundreds of years ago, never completely died out in the minds of their descendants in America, and today, blossom with the pride of many generations of tradition.
Come see work by some of the finest African American traditional artists in the South, as we feature the traditional African clothing of Daniel Deheer; the pottery of Winton & Rosa Eugene; the steel drums of Wheeler Matthews; the sweetgrass baskets of Annette Richardson; the dolls of Zenobia Washington and the quilts of Anna Willis.
