BYOA Show at Hub-Bub

Club Art & Design is accepting work for the annual Bring Your Own Art Show at Hub-Bub! 

Club Art and Design has decided to focus its fund-raising efforts this year on the BYOA show at Hub-Bub. We are currently recruiting student work for the exhibition. All funds earned will help support our annual trip to NYC. 
Hub-Bub is a contemporary art space that exhibits nationally known artists and plays a central role in the local art community as well. The Bring Your Own Art show allows local artists a chance to show and sell their work for one night
only. This event is a lively one and is well attended by the art-buying public in the Upstate and they come ready to spend! We are taking a group of student work over to Hub-bub and are willing to hang and actively attempt to sell your work that evening. You are welcome
to come and hang out with us, but you don’t have to. All you have to do is drop off your work and sign a sales agreement, a simple form that allows you to give the price-range you would like your work to be sold at and your signature, saying that you would agree to give Club Art & Design 1/3 of the profits from the sale of your work. It is a great way to help the club raise funds for the annual NYC trip and to lower the final cost of that trip. It also is a great way
for you to exhibit and sell your work and to make some extra cash for the holidays. Be sure to document your work in photographs for your own portfolio before the date of the show because there is a good chance we will sell your work that night.

All unsold work can be
picked up at Prof. Snow’s office in HPAC 119 from Dec. 10-13.

You can drop off work on Dec. 3 from 1:00-5:00pm and Dec. 7 from 11:00-3:00 at Professor Snow’s office in HPAC 119. You will need to fill out the sales agreement form and set the price range for your art then. 

If you have questions please email me at mcchildes@uscupstate.edu.

Originally from Virginia, Lloyd Toone is a Harlem artist and art teacher. His soulful expressions are celebrated internationally for the organic kinship and love that derives from growing up in rural Virginia raising livestock and cultivating the land. As well, his career as art therapist, educator, activist, historian, and his world travels influence his work greatly.

Toone will exhibit his watercolors and crayon-collages on board and paper since 1969. Also, his two- and three-dimensional sculpture works in ceramics and thematic applications of shoe soles will be on display. Toone’s life works evoke his intrinsic belief in the spirit of transformation and life coming full circle. For this, Toone has become an inspirational presence at the forefront of Harlem’s Second Renaissance.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford College embraced “A Green Season” on Wednesday, Sept. 19, with the formal acceptance of the sculpture by local artist Mayo Mac Boggs. The ceremony was held around the multi-piece sculpture located among the trees across from the Sandor Teszler Library.
The sculpture was designed as a piece of environmental art that will draw attention to the space around it. The elements echo forms of leaves and seed pods, branches and trunks. One piece literally embraces a large oak.
The artist Boggs is a professor of art and department chair at Converse College. His work appears in numerous collections throughout the United States, including the presidential libraries of Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. Well known for his abstract paintings, steel sculptures, bronze work, computer graphics and architectural designs, Boggs continues a family tradition of ironwork.

Spartanburg, S.C. –
The University Gallery at the University of South Carolina Upstate will exhibit “Hokes Medical Arts” from September 28 to October 26 and a lecture by the artist will be held Thursday, October 4 at 4:30 p.m. in the Humanities and Performing Arts Center, Room 101. A reception will be held in the Gallery following the lecture. This event is free and open to the public.
“Hokes Medical Arts” is the latest traveling exhibition created by Beauvais Lyons, a University of Tennessee art professor known for creating various mock-documentary projects. In the past he has fabricated and documented imaginary cultures such as the Apasht and the Aazud, created “The George and Helen Spelvin Folk Art Collection," a collection of contemporary folk art, and was instrumental in bringing a centaur specimen to the library at the University of Tennessee as a permanent display. For this project Lyons has created a collection of anatomical prints and drawings from the Hokes (pronounced “hoax”) Archives. This series of elaborate prints and drawings appear to be authentic depictions of abnormal human anatomy. Instead, they are works of fiction that comment on science and the representation of the body.
These prints are also an outgrowth of his interest in the history and visual conventions of scientific illustration. His style in these works is informed by 19th Century color lithography and reflects his appreciation for the vernacular print. The works also strives to walk a line between ideas of beauty and the grotesque. The critic Arthur Blade has stated that these works “serve as a bridge between the scholarship of Dr. Gray and the whimsy of Dr. Seuss.”
Theories about the body have been a subject that numerous artists have addressed in recent decades. Barbara Stafford’s 1991 book Body Criticism: Imaging the Unseen in Enlightenment Art and Medicine (MIT Press) offers a history of medical and anatomical science that has evolved since the advent of the Enlightenment. Feminism called into question issues of the body as a contested territory in relation to ideas of beauty and personal liberty. Given the size of the medical profession as a percent of the gross national product of industrialized nations, and our increased cultural attention to health and beauty, the subject has other levels of meaning and interest.
