SUMMARY:Very Eric Carle: A Very Hungry\, Quiet\, Lonely\, Clumsy\, Busy Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:May 20 – September 10\, 2023 \nColorful adventures in literacy and STEAM learning await in the special exhibition\, “Very Eric Carle: A Very Hungry\, Quiet\, Lonely\, Clumsy\, Busy Exhibit\,” making its Southeastern United States debut at the Upcountry History Museum\, Greenville\, SC. \nAt this play-and-learn exhibit\, co-organized by The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art\, Amherst\, Massachusetts\, and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh\, visitors step into the pages of author and illustrator Eric Carle’s colorful picture books and experience them as artist and reader\, while discovering and playing with five special insects from his well-known children’s books. \nCarle’s classic “Very” book series\, is reimagined in the 2\,500 square foot exhibition. Utilizing Carle’s hand-painted tissue paper collage technique\, the exhibit presents the five “Very” special insects who invite visitors to join them on their journeys of discovery. \nThrough interactive experiences\, visitors become the “tiny and very hungry Caterpillar\,” following along his iconic path. They also weave a web with the “Very Busy Spider;” find their light with the “Very Lonely Firefly;” make the “Very Clumsy Click Beetle” flip and jump; and compose a night symphony with the “Very Quiet Cricket.” \nIn the “Reading Zone” children and their caregivers explore visual literacy and reading through words\, pictures and video.  Visitors are invited to listen to Eric Carle read his stories and talk about his process or read their own favorite Eric Carle story with a friend \nEach of the “Very” stories are a testament to Eric Carle’s love of nature\, his respect for the emotional lives of children\, and his recurring themes of friendship\, creativity\, and the power of imagination. \nThe creator of more than seventy books\, Eric Carle (1929-2021) combined winsome stories and lively collages that appeal to young readers and adults alike.  While Carle’s stories are charming\, they’re layered with information too.  As children read his books about animals\, families\, nature\, and fables\, they also learn their colors\, numbers\, and letters.  Eric Carle focused on making learning accessible and fun – and in the process\, he invited children to fall in love with books and reading. \n  \nSupport provided by \n\, \n

SUMMARY:Facing the Inferno: The Wildfire Photography of Kari Greer
DESCRIPTION:Facing the Inferno: The Wildfire Photography of Kari Greer\nJuly 1 – October 22\, 2023 \n  \n“I’m a trained firefighter; photography is my tool.” \nKari Greer\, Wildfire Photographer\, 2012 \n  \nFire.  It’s dangerous and beautiful.  It creates its own light and can turn on you in an instant. \nThe effects of wildfires\, which are becoming more far-reaching due to global warming\, are drastic.  Smoke from wildfires has national impact. And the fire season now extends nearly year-round. \nArmed with determination\, a Nomex fire suit\, an Olympus E-3 camera\, and a full complement of safety equipment\, Kari Greer\, a wildland firefighter\, and specialist in editorial photojournalism and wildland fire photography\, safely moves through active fire situations to places most photographers could never access. \nOn an average assignment\, Greer drives hundreds of miles\, endures 130-degree heat\, dodges falling trees and electric lines\, sleeps in the back of her vehicle\, and prays low-flying planes won’t crush her beneath a load of misplaced fire retardant. \nGreer’s career includes two decades as a photographer with the National Interagency Fire Center\, based in Boise\, Idaho.  Though normally used for agency reports\, websites\, and government presentations\, Greer’s body of work reflects a deep understanding of this complex and dramatic subject. \nFacing the Inferno: The Wildfire Photography of Kari Greer\, will place viewers in the middle of raging wildfires\, as they travel side-by-side with fire crews on attack lines\, witnessing the intensity of the fires and the experiences of the firefighters who face them. The exhibition\, featuring 64 images from Greer’s collection\, is organized by the Moscow Contemporary Art Gallery in Moscow\, Idaho\, to increase public conversation and understanding of this volatile occurrence. \nIn its commitment to connecting Upstate\, SC history with national and global history\, the Upcountry History Museum will include a companion exhibition focused on wildfires and wildland fire fighting in the Carolinas. The Carolinas wildfire history\, significant wildfire events\, and growing number of “Red Flag Alerts” being issued in Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina will be examined through artifacts and archival materials. \n  \nSupport provided by \n
