SUMMARY:Beyond Halloween Land: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Halloween Land : Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas\nOctober 18\, 2025 – March 1\, 2026 \nJust in time for the holidays\, the Upcountry History Museum\, a Smithsonian Affiliate\, will present an exhibition dedicated to Filmmaker Tim Burton. Beyond Halloween Land | Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas will offer visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of the iconic 1993 stop-action animated film by showcasing a carefully curated collection of models and original artwork used to bring the beloved film to life. \nThe Nightmare Before Christmas originated from a poem written by Burton in 1982 while he was working as an animator at Walt Disney Productions. Burton then began to consider developing the poem into a short film or a half-hour television special\, to no avail. Over the years his thoughts regularly returned to the project and in 1990\, he made a development deal with Walt Disney Studios. The project’s production started in July 1991. \nMade before the era of computer generated imagery\, Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas used 109\,490 photographs for the labor-intensive stop animation process. Released on October 29\, 1993\, the film was met with commercial and critical success\, earning praise for its animation\, particularly the innovation of stop-motion as an art form\, as well as its characters\, songs\, and score. \nIn the 30+ years since its release\, the film’s creepy holiday magic remains contagious. Now deemed an “annual must-see Christmas classic”\, the beloved film tells the story of Jack Skellington\, the King of “Halloween Town”\, who stumbles upon “Christmas Town” and schemes to take over the holiday\, which includes kidnapping Santa Claus. Jack’s plans go awry causing him to state “I’m afraid I’ve made a terrible mess of your holiday” to Santa\, and to undoing the chaos that has been created. In return Santa assures Jack that there are no hard feelings between them and brings a snowfall to “Halloween Town”\, thereby bringing the Christmas spirit to the town. \nOrganized by the Upcountry History Museum in partnership with private collectors\, the exhibition will invite visitors to reconnect with the endearing yet quirky characters from Burton’s iconic The Nightmare Before Christmas\, such as Oogie Boogie\, Bone Crusher\, Sally\, Dr. Finkelstein\, and the beloved hero Jack Skellington. The exhibit will weave together maquettes originally crafted for Burton’s iconic film\, and an array of artworks\, inviting visitors to embark on their own imaginative journeys into the realms of fantasy. \n  \nSupport provided by \n    \n

SUMMARY:The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons\nJanuary 31\, 2026 – June 14\, 2026 \n  \n“Animation isn’t an illusion of life. It is life.”\n– Chuck Jones\, Warner Bros. creator \n  \nFor over 90 years\, Warner Bros. animation has brought joy to all ages. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies produced some to the most iconic animated characters – Bugs Bunny\, Porky Pig\, Daffy Duck\, Tweety Bird\, Wile E. Coyote\, Road Runner\, Elmer Fudd\, and more. \nThe classic Warner Bros. short animations were different from any other in that they were made with an adult audience in mind. The funny\, exuberant stories with a breath-taking pace were peppered with sharp satire and references to topical matters and real-life phenomena as well as endless verbal fireworks. Six to seven minutes long\, the cartoons were originally screened in film theatres before the feature film. \nThe Art Of Warner Bros. Cartoons\, an international traveling exhibition\, includes 160 objects and film clips that invite visitors of all ages to explore the history of the legendary Warner Bros. animation studio. The exhibition includes original production artwork\, including drawings\, paintings\, and transparent celluloids used to create some of Warner Studios’ classic cartoon shorts from their 1930 debut through the early 1960s. \nVisitors will explore the elaborate process that went into the making of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons\, considered to be among the finest\, funniest\, and most inventive animated shorts ever made. Vivacious\, colorful and highly animated\, the exhibition traces the development of all of Warner’s cartoon stars and gives a step-by-step breakdown of how animated films are made. \n  \n            \n  \nSupport provided by \n    \n

SUMMARY:Battleground Carolina: The Cherokee War of 1776
DESCRIPTION:A 10-month lecture series meeting on the first Tuesday at 5:30 PM of the listed months below.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin historian Durant Ashmore in an engaging lecture series that explores the American Revolutionary War through the lens of South Carolina’s Backcountry\, a region whose people\, terrain\, and battles played a critical role in the struggle for independence. While often overshadowed by events in the northern colonies\, the Backcountry was a contested and volatile landscape where Loyalists\, Patriots\, and British forces clashed in brutal and decisive engagements. \nDrawing on primary sources\, battlefield archaeology\, and recent scholarship\, Durant Ashmore will examine key battles of the Backcountry\, the leaders and dedicated militia who fought them\, and the civilian populations often caught in the middle. The series will highlight how guerrilla warfare\, local loyalties\, and geographic factors shaped the course of the war in South Carolina\, ultimately and directly influencing the outcome of the Revolution. \n  \n\nJanuary 6  |  February 3  |  March 3  |  April 7  |  May 5  |  June 2  |  August 4  |  September 1  |  October 6  |  November 3 \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture #3 – March 3 : The Cherokee War of 1776\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nRESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.
