By nurturing engagement between different arts disciplines we hope to not only grow the fan and patron base for all arts, but also to inspire artists from different walks to collaborate and/or adopt the methodology of another artistic endeavor.
At the Jasper Project, we try to engage as many arts disciplines as possible via our various projects. The theory behind this priority is that artists and their patrons too often find themselves in disciplinary silos, constructed and populated by the practitioners of those disciplines. In other words, music fans may not a miss a local concert but they do miss gallery openings, book launches, or dance performances that aren’t on their radar. Similarly, indie film aficionados may be hooked into the film scene but not necessarily aware of live music performances, theatre opportunities, or poetry readings that might scratch a different kind of artistic itch. By nurturing engagement between different arts disciplines we hope to not only grow the fan and patron base for all arts, but also to inspire artists from different walks to collaborate and/or adopt the methodology of another artistic endeavor.
For our upcoming project, PETER LENZO: A RETROSPECTIVE AND REMEMBRANCE, opening Friday April 3rd at 6 pm (5 pm for Jasper Guild members) at Stormwater Studios, we are including both a newly published art book and a newly created short film by Columbia, SC filmmaker, Wade Sellers, in the hopes of appealing to both book and film lovers.
The book, Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory is now available for pre-order and may be picked up at the exhibition. The 120+ page full color book contains more than 50 images of Lenzo’s work as well as essays by the SC State Museum’s Paul Matheny and the late Wim Roefs. The book is $45 until April 1, 2026 after which the price will rise to $50.
The film, also titled Peter Lenzo: In Memory of his Memory, will screen at Stormwater Studios on Friday April 10th at 7 pm.
We look forward to seeing you at these events and throughout the weeks of this exhibition during Stormwater Studios regularly scheduled hours.
