This year’s theme will showcase works of South Carolina artists in two dimensions, three dimensions, and photography related to the state of our planet and its environment. Some of SC’s finest artists have created works in the show addressing these issues. Their works confront problems of climate change, disappearing wetlands, air and water quality, the effects on wildlife due to vanishing habitats, and the like. The exhibit will also feature the creation of a Tibetan Sand Mandala and a unique site specific installation and related documentary called Ten Trees (see Piccolo Spoleto program book page 81 or visit www.piccolospoleto.com for more information).

Fears that Fortified Charles Towne – Cannon Demonstration
During the early years of the settlement, the Charles Towne colonists faced several threats, especially from their primary enemy and colonial rival, the Spanish. The Spanish fleet at St. Augustine, Florida was within three days travel of the fledgling English colony. Charles Towne, “here settled in the very chaps of the Spaniard,” was a direct challenge to the claim of this disputed land. Following a review of Charles Towne’s fortifications and defenses, the program will culminate with the Charles Towne Militia living history team’s demonstration of 17th century artillery.
