Arts Council of Beaufort County in Beaufort, SC, Features Works by Jonathan Green

The Arts Council of Beaufort County in Beaufort, SC, will present the exhibit, Jonathan Green: Home Again, featuring fine art lithographs, on view from Feb. 5 - 28, 2010.
 
Painter Jonathan Green is internationally known for his paintings of graceful, sun-brightened linens and characters, and he has returned to residing in the Lowcountry, where the ocean wind and salt marsh breezes caress laundry lines, artists, the Gullah community, and visitors alike. 

His Home Again show at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center is right down the road from Gardens Corner, SC, where Green grew up, and offers miles and miles of brightly-colored imagery: voluminous skirts and wide-brimmed hats, thoughtful figures in contemplative compositions, references to the slowed-down pastimes of folk with their feet on the ground, and the upright figures of Lowcountry culture. 

In this landmark show at ARTworks, the Arts Council of Beaufort County offers visitors and collectors the chance to browse for free. This show is the only complete set of his fine art lithographs known to exist outside the McKissick Museum in Columbia, and two images have never before shown in a gallery. 

The Arts Council of Beaufort County is also partnering with the Beaufort County School District to provide a learning interface for elementary school kids, and, for high school students, the opportunity to submit their Green-inspired artwork to a juried show, open to the public at ARTworks as well.
