The Big (and Beautiful) Picture…

It is a pleasure to report that because of your support and generosity, we have reached our fund-raising goals; welcomed over 261,000 visitors; engaged 86,473 children in creative and scientific exploration; provided over $726,000 in grants and services; and continued being financially sound during these still uncertain times. Our Partners are also experiencing measurable success in record ticket sales, memberships, and increased participation in classes, exhibits and programs all of which help to build their financial strength and long-term stability. Being united at Chapman Cultural Center allows for many shared services and encourages successful collaborations. The diversity of the programming offered encourages uncommon synergies with art, science and history, and fuels creative expression by all participants. The Cultural Center is a true catalyst for community vibrancy and citizen engagement. As a citizen of the world, I am reminded daily of the need for meaningful and unifying experiences that enrich our lives and give people hope. The Cultural Center truly embodies this hope and provides genuine experiences for all people. Hope can be seen in the artwork created by local youth in our monthly youth art exhibits; the skill and determination of our Irish Step Dancers at the Dance Center, the five-year-old girl presenting her own robot in the Lego Robotics Expo at the Science Center; the photograph of the City’s first African American police officers on display in the History Museum; the clear voice of a teenager performing on the theatre stage in Imagine That; children finding peace in the COLORS studio from an otherwise hectic and threatening world; seniors using their hands and minds to create a beautiful bowl in SAM’s Pottery Studio; families enjoying a picnic in Zimmerli Plaza. Chapman Cultural Center is a place that nurtures hope and joy every day. This fall, we are proud to partner with Wofford College and Converse College to host The Mystical Arts of Tibet, a group of Tibetan Monks who will share their creative spirits by creating a Mandala sand painting and performing sacred music and dance. The Monks use this art form, along with their sacred music and dance, as a means of promoting world peace and healing. This will be a unique cultural and educational experience for our community. Just as important as experiencing world cultures, we work daily to cultivate and promote the local talents of our regional performing and visual artists. Please join us for Sunday’s Unplugged to enjoy local singer/songwriters performing and our open air Art Market held in the plaza each Sunday (weather permitting). We especially thank you, patrons and donors, for all you do to contribute to Spartanburg’s creative spirit.

Search: STEM to STEAM

2013 Summer Institute Powered by STEAMIn June, 30 teachers from all over South Carolina converged on Chapman Cultural Center and The George Dean Johnson School of Business to discover how incorporating the arts and design can empower their students to excel in the 21st Century! Building on the important school focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), adding the Art/Design (STEAM) element brings the all-important aspect of aesthetics and creativity to the forefront.

Join us as we celebrate 100 Years of Benjamin Britten with

Noye’s Fludde

Noye’s Fludde Composed in English by Benjamin Britten, this production takes the beloved Biblical tale of Noah and his Ark and sets it all to music. Come watch as Noah builds his boat despite doubt from even his own wife, and the animals, played by children, come two-by-two to ride out the rains. Experience the musical “storm” and wait with Noah to see if the dove returns with the olive branch.

Cultural Center HiresNew Director of Annual Giving

Chapman Cultural Center announces the addition of Karen Parrott to the staff as Director of Annual Giv-ing. She is responsible for all aspects of the United Arts Annual Fund Campaign for Spartanburg County. Parrott will work closely with President Jennifer Evins in creat-ing and implementing an annual fundraising campaign for individual gifts, foundation grants, and corporate gifts and sponsorships. She replaces Epsie Coleman, who is devoting her skills full time to her family’s business.

Parrott is no stranger to Chapman Cultural Center. For the past five years, she has volunteered as Sales Coordinator for The Nutcracker, An-gelina Ballerina, and other performances for Ballet Spartanburg, one of the partners at Chapman Cultural Center. She has worked behind the scenes while her daughter, Bonnie, performed in The Spartanburg Little Theatre’s Brothers of the Knight and An-nie. Parrott has enthusiastically brought friends and family to many of the Center’s ballet and theater productions, and concerts by Spartanburg Philharmonic Orches-tra. She has also taken classes at Spartanburg Art Museum and attended art exhibits, openings and events. “I love this place,” she said. “It is a gorgeous facility, and my life has been deeply enriched through all that Chapman Center has to offer. This is a family-friendly place.”
