Traveling Smithsonian Exhibit comes to South Carolina

 

Columbia, S.C. - The Humanities CouncilSC recently announced that 12
small communities in South Carolina will have the opportunity to host
the traveling Smithsonian exhibit New Harmonies: Celebrating American
Roots Music in 2011 and 2012. New Harmonies explores Americans' creative
expression through music - music known by names like blues, country
western, folk ballads, and gospel. 

New Harmonies is made possible in South Carolina through Museum on Main

CouncilSC offered an application opportunity to small museums, arts
centers, libraries, and other community venues in South Carolina cities

About the S.C. State Library

The South Carolina State Library is the primary administrator of federal
and state support for the state's libraries. The Library is a national
model for innovation, collaboration, leadership and effectiveness.  The
Library's mission is to optimize South Carolina's investment in library
and information services. In 1969, as the result of action by the
General Assembly, the State Library Board was redesignated as the South
Carolina State Library and assumed responsibility for public library
development, library service for state institutions, service for the
blind and physically handicapped, and library service to state
government agencies. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the Library is
funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through
the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and other sources.  For
