Richard McMahan's Minimuseum

We feature different exhibits, museums, artistic and educational opportunities as they become available to us for sharing. Currently we are featuring the art exhibit at the Addlestone Library located at the College of Charleston. It is entitled Richard McMahan's Minimuseum and the exhibit will be open until June 30, 2008. The website link includes videos and information about the show. The collection includes some pieces that might be objectionable for students, so it was not recommended for field trips, but is great for art educators.

 

The Gibbes Museum of Art

Established as the Carolina Art Association in 1858, the Gibbes Museum of Art opened its doors to the public in 1905.  Located in Charleston’s historic district, the Gibbes houses a premier collection of over 10,000 works of art, principally American works with a Charleston or Southern connection and presents 12-15 special exhibitions annually. In addition, the museum offers an extensive complement of public programming and educational outreach initiatives.  As the aesthetic heart of the Lowcountry, the Gibbes serves the community by stimulating creative expression, increasing economic vitality through tourism, and improving the region’s superb quality of life.

For more information, go to our website.  There is also a section describing programs and resources for educators.
