You can get an inside and underneath view of the exhibition with
of Install It 3 – above and below
with a free tour at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 16.
The installation art exhibition, on view through May 24, is
located in the Vista Greenway/former train tunnel at the intersection of
Lincoln and Lady streets. Artists Michaela Pilar Brown, Bri Kinard, Amanda
Ladymon, Kara Gunter, Wendell George Brown and Kimberly Bookman have created
works which respond to the history of Washington Street, a once-thriving
African-American commercial and social district under which the tunnel runs,
and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. The artists
have created works that include photography, wax, plaster, paper, earth and
grass.
The tour will be given by exhibition curator Jeffrey Day,
several of the participating artists, historian Ramon Jackson and community members.
The exhibition, sponsored by the Congaree Vista Guild and
part of the annual art event Artista Vista, is open daily from dawn to dark.
