Springtime is always a special time for kids and the arts. It is when the

“official season” is looking to end on a high note, and children are counting

down the days to summer vacation. This year, The Arts Partnership of Greater

Spartanburg certainly has spring fever and a lot of wonderful shows, exhibits,

and special programs. We have something for everyone… an artists’ garden tour,

DanSynergy, famous film scores performed live, outings at local historical sites,

and stage performances that range from the classic to the cutting edge. • We are

especially proud of Ava Hughes and her work in Arts Education. Each month,

she brings a new student art show to the Chapman Cultural Center. In March,

Youth Art Month, she’ll bring in students from nearly every school in the county.

But it’s behind the scenes where Ava does her best work: injecting art into the

classroom, touching every student in one fashion or the other. • Education has

always been a major focus for The Arts Partnership. Countless student dancers,

artists, and scientists are here daily, learning, practicing, and discovering. This

summer the Chapman Cultural Center will host dozens of camps for kids in

several high-interest areas. Don’t delay in registration: Slots go fast! • Finally,

The Arts Partnership and the Chapman Cultural Center welcome Jennifer Evins

as our interim president and chief operating officer. As a volunteer, Jennifer has

supported the arts for more than 20 years. As president, she’ll focus on funding and

supporting the Partners. We are lucky to have her. • Spring is in the air. Partake

of the arts, science, and history in Spartanburg, and catch a breath of fresh

creativity.

Arts Education MakesFor a Better SocietyBy Ava HughesDirector of Arts EducationThe Arts Partnership of Greater Spartanburg

When I was asked to write an article about arts education for this Tapestry newsletter, I was told, “just make it personal… tell why arts education is important to you.” I don’t think I’ve ever put this into writing before…

I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t music in our home. My older sister took piano lessons every week and when I was old enough, so did I. Our Aunt Sarah Jennings taught piano in a second floor studio on Wall Street in downtown Spartanburg, right over Pete’s Backyard Restaurant on Morgan Square. I was in awe at how wonderfully Aunt Sarah played! Preparing for music competitions at Converse College and the annual recitals with knees and hands shaking, taught me not only an appreciation for music and what goes into a performance, but that if I practiced and persevered nothing was impossible, not only in music, but in life.

I think that’s what keeps me excited. Helping schools to host professional artists in week-long residencies and school performances gives me the privilege of visiting these classrooms and witnessing that “aha moment,” when a student discovers that personal spark and feels that sense of pride in accomplishment.

Don’t just take it from me… many studies have shown that quality arts education contributes to K-12 educational achievement, a critical issue for our state. Research shows that participation in the arts makes the biggest positive difference in achievement among disadvantaged students.

So I invite you to come and see what some of Spartanburg’s students have created. Each month we spotlight a different school district, and in celebration of March as Youth Art

You Are Invited To Our Youth Art Month Exhibit at the Chapman Cultural Center. It’s wonderful… and free!

~ Page 15 ~

Month, the Student Galleries at the Chapman Cultural Center will be filled to the brim with evidence of creativity and imagination! I want to offer my personal appreciation to SunTrust bank for sponsoring Youth Art Month again this year and to Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina for supporting our Artists In Residence program. In these tough times, corporate sponsorships such as this give me hope that our children will continue to have the opportunity to be creative and that their creativity will have a place to be showcased.

I have been involved in the arts for nearly 40 years and specialized in arts education for 30. I have seen generations of local citizens start out with crayons in kindergarten and seen individuals become world-renowned artists in dance, the visual arts, theatre, and music. Currently, through the work we do here at the Chapman Cultural Center, we touch every student in Spartanburg County… that’s more than 44,000 yearly. Yes, we’ve come a long way since my recital days.

But there is still much work to be done. As our lawmakers grapple with federal and state budgets, the very existence of arts education is at stake. What a sad world this would be without music, color, and the stage. So when your child’s school has a guest writer, potter, printmaker or storyteller, visit the school and see what excitement and deep learning is taking place. The arts contribute greatly to our children’s education and development as citizens.

“My husband and I believe strongly that arts education is essential for building innovative thinkers who will be our nation’s leaders of tomorrow.”

May…Art Exhibit: Jonas CriscoeBeautiful DetritusMay 2-27, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Free.Free public reception: Thursday, May 19, during ArtWalk, 6-8 p.m.Jonas Criscoe’s work explores how our ever-expanding consumer culture has shaped the environ-ments and landscapes in which we live. He has been directly influenced by his residency in the Upstate of South Carolina - a landscape dotted with the deteriorating infrastructure of old mill villages, empty storefronts and other industries of a technologically displaced culture. This is a landscape blanketed by invasive plants such as kudzu and Japanese honeysuckle, which grow where and upon what they wish. The densely layered compositions that are characteristic of his work are a reflection of his desire to create both process-derived imagery and to convey a feeling of detritus and abandonment through the worn surfaces that he employs. Presented by the Artists’ Guild of Spartanburg in the Guild Gallery at the Chapman Cultural Center.

Music Sandwiched In: Strings of ChoiceWednesday, May 4, 12:15 p.m. Main Library. Free.Strings of Choice will perform a variety of swing music songs during this free lunchtime concert. Bring your lunch or buy one there. Presented by The Music Foundation of Spartanburg.

It’s up to their young nephew Mortimer to deal with his homicidal aunts, his uncle who believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt, his newly betrothed fiancé, and his murderous brother who has recently undergone plastic surgery to look like Boris Karloff, all while trying to keep the police at bay. This hilari-ous farce is a classic screwball comedy that is just as funny today as the day it premiered. Presented by Spartanburg Little Theatre in the David Reid Theatre at the Chapman Cultural Center.

Taste of the BackcountrySaturday, May 7, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The Price House.At his inn and tavern, Thomas Price provided food and drink to travelers passing through the Backcountry along the burgeoning road network of the young United States.
