UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

Treelee MacAnn: Looking Out; Looking In
A professor of art at Coastal Carolina University since 1990, Treelee MacAnn teaches what she loves to do herself -- printmaking, drawing and design. A native of Rochester NY, MacAnn grew up exposed to art in an environment with a rich tradition in the graphic arts and photography, media she readily embraced at both State University of New York and Bowling Green State University where she received her BA and MFA respectively.
Her work can be divided into two primary areas of interest: the human form and the landscape. Most recently she has been working with intaglio, a type of non-toxic process. Drawing from still-frames of old black and white movies and/or old photographs of the same period, MacAnn is revisiting and "rewriting" historical narratives, oftentimes in series. An award winning artist, her work has been featured in more than 70 juried international and national exhibitions. She will personally guide visitors through her exhibition on several occasions, allowing for in-depth discussions of the process and product.

Alex Powers: A Retrospective
The year 2010 marks the 40th anniversary of nationally recognized artist, teacher and juror, Alex Powers' life as a painter. To commemorate this significant milestone, the Art Museum will exhibit retrospective of Powers' works with an accompanying catalogue. Over the years, Powers' style has evolved into personal, content-dominated imagery, dealing with issues such as human origins, religion, philosophy and economic inequality. Using gouache, charcoal, pastel and sometimes collage on illustration board, his loose realism combines an emphasis on drawing with an awareness of the art of our times. An avid reader and a serious thinker, Powers brings to his works many thought-provoking subjects, and the viewer is subtly drawn into the ideas the artist himself grapples with. The author of the critically acclaimed (and currently out of print) Painting People in Watercolor: a Design Approach, and a much sought-after teacher across the US and Canada, on several occasions Powers will personally guide viewers through the exhibit, an experience that promises to provide lively exchanges between the artist and the viewers.
This exhibit is generously sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.
