Our Prehistoric Palmetto State is an engaging presentation on the process of fossilization and the diverse animals present in South Carolina’s fossil record. Paleontologist Ashby Gale will construct explanations for why fossil deposits are located where they are\, interpret past data from the fossil record to analyze historical climate patterns\, and explore the driving mechanisms of fossilization processes. Throughout the presentation\, he will share different fossils collected in the Lowcountry for the audience to get an up-close look at the Lowcountry’s prehistoric past! The presentation typically lasts an hour and 15 minutes\, and guests may ask questions at the conclusion of the talk. \nGuests may bring fossils and questions! For fossils\, please limit to 10 finds per family to ensure the line doesn’t get too long.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register Here” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-prehistoric-palmetto-state-tickets-1978611031859″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Mr. Gale will also have copies of the book he helped co-author\, A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils\, for sale ($29.95).

Spanning more than six decades of work\, with over 40 works created between 1961 and 2020\, this landmark retrospective is the first major career survey of Twiggs’ work to be presented in his home state of South Carolina. The exhibition is organized into five thematic sections: Marooned\, Awakenings\, Transitions\, Transformation\, and Revelations\, tracing the artist’s evolution through aesthetic and thematic relationships rather than strict chronology. Featuring his celebrated mastery of batik\, a multi-layered wax-resist dyeing process in which deep color saturation onto cotton conveys the gravity of his subject matter\, the exhibition explores Twiggs’ profound reflections on race\, resilience\, and the American experience. As the nation marks its 250th anniversary\, his art offers a singular lens through which to examine our shared national story.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The public is invited to the opening reception on Thursday\, June 11\, 2026\, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Guest curator\, Dr. Frank C. Martin II\, who has written extensively about Twiggs’ work says\,  “Through talent\, faith\, ambition\, intelligence and hard work\, Leo Twiggs has emerged from the challenging obscurity of his early life in a small\, segregated community to become one of the South’s most nationally significant and innovative visual artists.” Both the reception and the exhibition are free and open to the public. \nRevelations: The Art of Leo Twiggs is organized by the Gibbes Museum of Art\, Charleston\, South Carolina. The exhibition is guest curated by Dr. Frank C. Martin II.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30px” bottom_padding=”30px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/TjhUc0cpdls?si=_1Q74SXvH3zZGxcD” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
