Artist Talk with Sanford Greene This Friday, June 19 at 12 p.m. - SC State Museum

From Our Friends at the SC State Museum …

Join us for this Artist Talk as Sanford Greene sits down with Ramon Jackson, Curator of Cultural History, to discuss several pieces Greene has donated to the Museum and the stories and meaning behind them.

This artist talk series highlights artists featured in From the Vault: Art from the Museum’s Collection, currently on view in Lipscomb Art Gallery. These programs will give artists the opportunity to discuss their work and offer visitors a chance to hear firsthand the ideas, experiences, and processes that fuel artists’ creative journeys.  

Each conversation will center on the artist’s practice, the themes that shape their work, and what it means to create in South Carolina today. Some talks may include mentor and mentee pairings or collaborative discussions, while others will focus on individual artists sharing their stories and perspectives. 

Above all, the series is designed to create an open and engaging space where artists and audiences can connect, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of the work on view.
