SUMMARY:Celebrating 75 Years…Greenville Symphony – Concerts and Community
DESCRIPTION:February 18 – August 13\, 2023 \n  \nLike individual instruments that form an orchestra and create a beautifully blended sound\, cultural arts organizations weave together an atmosphere of creativity\, collective collaboration\, and cohesiveness that produce a harmony of entertainment and appreciation. \nFollowing a post-war surge of growth in this Textile Capital of the World\, forward-thinking community leaders began to recognize that cultural arts organizations could not only complement\, but also strengthen Greenville’s booming economic development. \nSo\, in the summer of 1948\, a few dedicated musicians added their names to a handwritten signup sheet taped to a storefront window and turned their volunteer talents into days\, weeks\, and months of practice in preparation for the first concert. On December 6\, the sounds of Wagner and Schubert filled the Women’s College Auditorium on the old Furman University campus\, and a captivated audience enthusiastically responded to the prospect of more concerts to come. The Greenville Symphony was born. \nOver the next 75 years\, the Greenville Symphony grew into a respected segment of the larger fabric of a community coming of age. Throughout these more than seven decades\, what began as a volunteer-driven group of musicians evolved into a professional orchestra that has offered performances of classical masterworks\, hosted world-class musicians such as jazz great Duke Ellington and renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma\, established a strong music education component for children\, developed innovative Pops programming\, made national headlines for its role in helping music director and conductor Edvard Tchivzhel defect from the then USSR to the United States\, introduced a Virtual Concert Hall in response to COVID-19 so music could still be shared\, initiated a series of “pop-up performances” with small ensembles performing in unexpected places\, and maintained a commitment to performing with passion and distinction. \nThis exhibition celebrates the remarkable history of one of Greenville’s cultural anchors; an organization that has embraced its love of music and created a composition of community engagement\, enrichment\, and enthusiasm season after season. \nThe Greenville Symphony Association is dedicated to providing educational and cultural opportunities for the citizens of Greenville and surrounding communities through the presentation of live orchestral music.

SUMMARY:Through The Years: Kenny Rogers' Photographs of America
DESCRIPTION:March 4 – June 18\, 2023 \nThrough the Years: Kenny Rogers’ Photographs of America\, a special exhibition organized by The Kenny Rogers Estate\, highlights a little-known facet of a multi-talented man\, shedding new light on the seriousness of Rogers’ pursuit of his hobby of making great images.  Through the Years presents a selection of 60 of Rogers’ stunning color and black and white photographs of America\, its celebrities\, and working people. \nAlthough Kenny Rogers wrote and sang “You Can’t Make Old Friends\,” the worldwide music icon\, multiple Grammy Award-winner\, and Country Music Hall of Fame Member made many new friends in the process of creating hundreds of celebrity portraits.  Eighteen of these\, many inscribed to Rogers by the subject\, are among the highlights in the exhibition. \nRogers began shooting pictures with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye in the mid-1960s\, and his interest grew when he was introduced to fashion\, and celebrity photographer Milton H. Greene famed for his Marilyn Monroe portraits. \nRogers’ two most notable mentors were famed portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh\, and John Sexton\, a noted landscape photographer who served as Ansel Adams’ late-in-life assistant. \nPhotography gave Rogers a creative outlet apart from the fast-paced life of an entertainer.  Crisscrossing America on his travels and concert tours Rogers took every opportunity to get out and shoot pictures\, documenting unique views of North America and the people he met. He made friends with many of them\, and they subtly informed his art along the way. \nA revered photographer\, Rogers received an Honorary Master of Photography degree from the Professional Photographers of America in 2014. In 2017\, he was honored with the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Louis\, MO.  Rogers published three books of his photography in 1986\, 1987\, and 2001. \nThe Upcountry History Museum is the second museum to host the stunning results of Rogers’ photography.  In addition to the selection of 60 photographs\, the exhibition will include artifacts and archival materials from Rogers’ personal vault\, providing a comprehensive look at Kenny Rogers’ diverse artistic outlets. \nSupport provided by \n

SUMMARY:The Global Language of Headwear:  Cultural Identity\, Rites of Passage\, and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION: “Hats and headdresses are a unique and powerful lens through which one can view the human experience.” \nStacey W. Miller\, Curator\, The Global Language of Headwear Exhibition \n  \nThe Global Language of Headwear: Cultural Identity\, Rites of Passage\, and Spirituality\, a national traveling exhibition\, organized by International Arts and Artists\, Washington\, DC\, will make its only Southeastern United States stop in Greenville\, SC\, at the Upcountry History Museum. \nDeveloped by independent ethnographic curator Stacey W. Miller\, the exhibition explores the vital role of ceremonial headwear throughout diverse cultural customs\, beliefs\, and rituals.  The exhibition features approximately 89 hats and headdresses from 43 different countries spanning Asia\, Africa\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and North and South America. \nOrganized in five distinct categories – Cultural Identity; Power\, Prestige\, and Status; Ceremonies and Celebrations; Spiritual Beliefs; and Protection – the exhibition showcases these mutual themes amid a range of traditions. \nThe exhibition pays tribute to the stunning diversity of the world’s cultures.  The hats and headdresses are part of a private collection of 1300 extraordinary pieces of international headwear that date from the mid to late 20th century. \nFrom headdresses and helmets to turbans and crowns\, visitors will explore the vital role of ceremonial headwear throughout diverse cultural customs\, beliefs and rituals.  Transcending utilitarian purposes\, each head covering is a work of art – not merely because of the skill required to make it\, but also as a singular expression of creativity and cultural meaning.  The profusion of shapes\, styles\, and materials\, as well as the ingenious use of embellishments to decorate the hats\, are limited only by imagination. \nThe beliefs and rituals of these many cultures\, and the ceremonial objects that accompany them\, ultimately unite an international community.  Comparatively\, both the Plains Indian feathered war bonnet and the Congolese Misango MaPende crown\, both featured in the exhibition\, though from vastly different regions and civilizations\, represent a position of leadership and status\, and only those who have earned the right to wear one may do so. \nThe Global Language of Headwear exhibition colorfully demonstrates that each distinct society can be viewed through a similar lens of rites of passage\, heritage\, and identity. \nSupport provided by \n                      \n

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

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
