Johnson Picturing Justice. This traveling exhibition\, on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, provides in-depth perspective into the latter work of Florence native\, William Henry Johnson. Registration is required. Register using the link on this page[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register for Tour!” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sunday-tours-fighters-for-freedom-william-h-johnson-picturing-justice-tickets-1024995106957?aff=oddtdtcreator”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]William H. Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none”

Some say 7 seconds is the most time a viewer will spend looking at a painting. How long does 30 seconds feel like? What about 5 minutes? How does the time we spend looking at something\, influence our observation? \nJoin us for a guided experience & conversation at 2 pm highlighting the art of slow looking and observation with Curator of Education\, Uschi Jeffcoat in the Focus Gallery.

Johnson Picturing Justice. This traveling exhibition\, on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, provides in-depth perspective into the latter work of Florence native\, William Henry Johnson. Registration is required.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register for Tour!” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sunday-tours-fighters-for-freedom-william-h-johnson-picturing-justice-tickets-1026930174797″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]William H. Johnson (1901–1970) painted his last body of work\, the Fighters for Freedom series\, in the mid-1940s as a tribute to African American activists\, scientists\, teachers and performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M. Mecklenburg\, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Laura Augustin Fox\, curatorial collections coordinator. \nFighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice is organized by the\nSmithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none”

This landmark exhibition brings together—for the first time since 1946—34 paintings featured in the series. \nThe exhibition illuminates the extraordinary life and contributions of Johnson\, an artist associated with the Harlem Renaissance but whose practice spanned several continents\, as well as the contributions of historical figures he depicted. Some of his Fighters—Marian Anderson\, George Washington Carver\, Mohandas Gandhi\, and Harriet Tubman—are familiar figures; others—Nannie Helen Burroughs and William Grant Still\, among them—are less well-known individuals whose achievements have been eclipsed over time. Johnson celebrates their accomplishments even as he acknowledges the realities of racism\, oppression\, and sometimes violence they faced and overcame. Johnson clues viewers to significant episodes in the Fighters lives by punctuating each portrait with tiny buildings\, flags\, and vignettes that give insight into their stories. Using a colorful palette to create evocative scenes and craft important narratives\, he suggests that the pursuit of freedom is an ongoing\, interconnected struggle\, with moments of both triumph and tragedy. \nThe exhibition is drawn primarily from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s collection of more than 1\,000 works by William H. Johnson\, the largest and most complete collection of work by the artist\, given to the museum by the Harmon Foundation in 1967. The museum\, in turn\, offered almost 150 paintings and prints to other institutions. As a result\, historically Black universities\, including Fisk\, Hampton\, Howard\, Morgan State and others\, have rich collections of Johnson’s work. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has done much in the past 50 years to preserve Johnson’s art and establish his reputation by organizing exhibitions and installations of his work and an ongoing program of conservation for these fragile paintings. \nThe exhibition is organized by Virginia M.

But through the vehicle of the human figure\, he also explores the shared human condition by expressing emotional experiences like anxiety\, anguish\, endurance and resilience. Austin earned his BA in Studio Art from University of North Carolina\, Pembroke in 2007 and his MFA in Sculpture from East Carolina University in 2010. Previously\, he’s been an Artist-in-Residence at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop\, Franconia Sculpture Park\, Salem Art Works and has participated in International Sculpture Symposia in the UK\, Germany\, Finland\, Costa Rica and Latvia. Austin is a faculty member at Coker University and lives in Duart\, North Carolina. He’s currently working towards developing new work for a major solo exhibition at Wilson Arts in 2026. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Multipurpose Room\nLecture Title: “An Update from the Field and Lab: Recent Historical Archaeology Along the Pee Dee River in the Greater Florence Area.” \nLecture Abstract: Over the last four years\, historical archaeology conducted through the Archaeological Institute of the Pee Dee (AIPD) has been undertaken at 11 sites and properties spanning the mid-eighteenth through early twentieth centuries. All of the sites studied contribute in small and large ways to the development\, settlement\, and creation of the communities that surround and comprise the City of Florence. From footpaths\, horse trails\, and rail lines\, to small backcountry churches\, planters’ settlements\, Revolutionary War-related sites\, and the small “lost” towns of South Carolina\, our archaeological research and studies through the AIPD and Florence Museum have generated a growing database we use to learn more about the historical development of the Darlington-Florence area than ever before. Agha will discuss the Cashaway Baptist Church site\, the search for Rev. Evan Pugh’s settlement and experimental gardens\, the plantation settlements of Jolly Webb and Revolutionary War veteran Major Robert Lide\, pre-Revolutionary War settlements and houses\, the sites affected by British Major James Wemyss as he burned most of the countryside north and south of Florence in 1780\, the late colonial town settlement of Long Bluff near modern Society Hill\, and the site of the old Florence Hotel (1860-1893) that burned to the ground just a few blocks away from the Florence County Museum. Agha will also discuss important artifacts found at these sites\, which are useful in our understanding of who the site inhabitants were\, their social status\, and how we can use those artifacts to learn more about the past peoples who lived along this stretch of the Pee Dee. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Dr. Andrew Agha has been practicing archaeology in South Carolina and the southeast since 1997 and is currently CEO of Aghatech Industries LLC. He has worked for various private and public entities and institutions and has taught Anthropology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia\, the College of Charleston\, and Coastal Carolina University. His main research deals with how colonial Carolina origins were influenced and shaped by experimental scientific agriculture\, where the intersection of early English sciences\, enslaved Africans\, and English “country estate” development during the 1670s and 1680s created Carolina’s “plantation society”.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Lobby\nExhibit Description:  Bobby Southerlin will display a variety of pottery vessels he has made\, representing a variety of vessel forms and decorative styles found in South Carolina. He digs his own clay and uses pottery fragments from archaeological sites as the inspiration/template. Vessels are open-fired in a shallow pit. On display will also be a variety of tools Southerlin uses to construct different pottery types\, and he will demonstrate traditional construction techniques by working on a small pot. Replica pottery vessels will be available for purchase.\n\nAbout the Archaeologist: Bobby G. Southerlin is the Founder of Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas\, Inc. He was born in North Carolina and graduated from Spring Valley High School near Columbia\, SC. Southerlin earned his undergraduate degree (BA) at the University of South Carolina and did his graduate studies at the University of Georgia (MA). Southerlin’s archaeological experience focused on studying the lifeways of Native Americans who lived in North and South Carolina. He specializes in replicating the different pottery types found at Native American archaeological sites in the Carolinas and conducts experimental archaeology projects to better understand both the artifacts and the potters.[/vc_column_text][/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”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Courtyard\nEvent Title: Flintknapping Demonstration & Lesson \nEvent Description: Folks are encouraged to bring artifacts for identification by an archaeologist. \nAbout the Exhibitor: Archaeologist David Walton\, an expert on lithic technologies across the ancient Americas\, will be demonstrating and teaching guests how to make a variety of stone tools using flint and obsidian cores.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Lobby\nEvent Title: Native American Artifact Identification! \nEvent Description: Folks are encouraged to bring artifacts for identification by an archaeologist. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years.

Antiquarians and early archaeologists documented eight earthen mound complexes along the Wateree River\, and they and ethnohistorians associate these sites with the province of Cofitachequi. Intensive investigations at three mound complexes by archaeologists from the University of South Carolina\, Columbia\, over the last fifty years have revealed much about these communities that were among the first in the southeastern US to be visited by Europeans. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years.

In addition to foraging parties from both armies making their presences known across the countryside\, local vendors would visit army encampments when they came near\, to sell additional items to the soldiers. Ranging from fresh produce\, bread\, eggs\, and cheese\, to tobacco and more exotic luxury items like tea\, coffee\, sugar\, wine\, and chocolate\, petty sutlers had to be licensed to sell by the Quartermaster General of each army. This portrayal invites the visitor to consider what additional foods and comfort items might be offered for sale\, as well as how those items affected the health and well-being of the soldiers. Topics of conversation often include how civilians were licensed and how they interacted with the soldiers\, as well as discussions of currency and payment\, and the cost-benefit analysis of civilians who decided to sell to the army. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Carin Bloom is a public historian\, researcher\, and programming consultant in Charleston\, SC. Carin holds an Honors BA\, two MAs\, and a PhD ABD in Anthropology\, all with specializations in Historical Archaeology of the American Revolution. She is an archaeologist and public historian by training\, specializing in the history of the 18th century in America. Carin believes that immersive experiences help history come alive for those interested in exploring the past – she presents both in first- and third-person narratives. Carin focuses on lesser-known historical figures; those whose stories have not been told in the past have still made important contributions\, including the licensed petty sutlers of the armies of the American War for Independence.[/vc_column_text][/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”]\n1:30 PM – 3:30 PM – Classroom\nActivity Title: Family Activity – Dining Detectives! \nActivity Description: Be a Ceramic Sleuth!
