On Friday, July 5th, the Bob Burdette Center took the students in the Summer Program to The Clay Center. It was a full day of exploring and having fun! The standout of the day though, was when the students entered the Juliet Art Museum and toured a new exhibition that will be showcased until September 8th: the Charles Jupiter Hamilton Exhibition.
Per the Clay Center’s website:
“In celebration of beloved Charleston artist Charles Jupiter Hamilton (1948–2021), the Juliet Art Museum at the Clay Center has organized a retrospective exhibition that will examine his entire artistic career, drawing on private and public collections as well as archival materials.”
We have unique and creative students in our program. You can see some of their own artwork displayed in the ‘BBC Works of Art’ Hallway located at the Emmanuel Baptist Church site. So, attending the exhibit was not only fun for them but also influential!
*We would like to thank the Clay Center for an amazing time and our own staff for doing an incredible job supervising and having fun with the students!
