SUMMARY:Conversations with Collectors: The Joys of Collecting Black Art
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of African American Art and Culture (FAAAC) presents Conversations with Collectors: The Joys of Collecting Black Art\, featuring collectors Patrick Diamond\, Dr. Philip Toussaint\, and Marjorie Hammock on Thursday\, June 1\, at the Columbia Museum of Art (CMA). These collectors will share stories about acquiring works by Black artists and following that passion over many years. The conversation will be moderated by Waltene Whitmire\, a founding and current member of the FAAAC board of directors. The event is free\, though registration is preferred. \nThis event is also FAAAC’s annual meeting and includes a reception featuring charcuterie boards from Clarissa’s Kitchen and Catering. Attendees may start or add to their personal art collection through a silent art auction featuring original pieces by local and national Black artists. Throughout the evening\, Columbia artist Ija Charles will create in real time a work of art on canvas\, which auctioneer William Roberts III will present for sale during a live auction at the end of the program. Charles is a self-taught artist and entrepreneur whose work is inspired by everyday people\, diverse samplings from her community\, lived experiences\, and culture. Her compelling and often whimsical murals dot the landscape in Columbia and surrounding communities. \nFor nearly 50 years\, Patrick Diamond and his wife\, Judy\, have collected more than 120 pieces by African American artists. He lives in Charlotte\, North Carolina\, and is a former development director of the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture. The CMA recently exhibited works from the Judy and Patrick Diamond collection\, including a remarkable selection of works by some of the most significant African American artists of the last century: Benny Andrews\, Radcliffe Bailey\, Romare Bearden\, Elizabeth Catlett\, Sargent Johnson\, Jacob Lawrence\, Hughie Lee-Smith\, Henry Ossawa Tanner\, and Leo Twiggs. \nDr. Philip Toussaint is a neurologist with the Lexington Medical Center\, a member of the FAAAC board of directors\, and a longtime collector of Southern art\, including works of many African American artists. A favorite among Toussaint’s acquisitions is a fairly extensive collection of Dave Pottery. David Drake was an enslaved artist who worked in the Edgefield\, South Carolina pottery-making district in the early 1800s when Edgefield was a hub for the manufacturing of ceramic stoneware. Dave\, who was also a poet\, specialized in large storage jars with horizontal slab handles used for large-scale plantation food preservation. \nMarjorie Hammock’s art collection is an extension of what she once referred to as “an exploration of her Blackness.” As a retired social worker\, civil rights activist\, and college professor\, Hammock has collected works by Black artists as a source of inspiration and a foundational representation of her essence. \nFAAAC presents Conversations with Collectors: The Joys of Collecting Black Art\nThursday\, June 1 | 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. | Reception and silent auction at 5:30 p.m. | Conversation at 6:15 p.m. | Live auction at 7:30 p.m. | Free; registration preferred. \nThis program is supported in part by a general operating and support grant from Central Carolina Community Foundation. \n  \nAbout the FAAAC \nInclusive of all genders\, ethnicities\, and ages\, the FAAAC was established as a member affinity group by the CMA board of directors in June 2011 to attract more diverse populations to the museum as visitors\, members\, and donors. Its mission is to educate\, enrich\, and inspire the community and visitors to the state while increasing engagement with members of the community interested in African American art and culture. \n

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Curators
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Museum of Art presents A Conversation with Curators\, a unique opportunity to learn about Renaissance and Baroque art from the experiences of two CMA curators\, on Thursday\, December 15\, at 7:00 p.m. CMA Curator Michael Neumeister and Bill Bodine\, former CMA deputy director and chief curator\, discuss the history of Kress collections in museums throughout the United States and specifically the CMA’s own holdings\, much of which is currently on view in the exhibition European Splendors: Highlights from the Kress Collection. \nDuring Bodine’s eight years at the museum\, from 1994 to 2002\, he oversaw the CMA Collection’s relocation from the Taylor House on Senate Street to its current home on Main Street.
