The Johnson Family Art Show - September 2009

The Johnson Family Art Show will remain at the Black Creek Arts Center through the end of September. The show, containing work by Dale, Mary Ellen, and Seth Johnson, is made up of 107 works.

Though primarily paintings, the show contains three prostallations by Seth Johnson. Prostallations, according to Seth, are projected installation pieces.

All three of the Johnsons reside in Hartsville, where Seth is in his second year at Coker College. Dale's mother, Christine, is the owner of The Art Shoppe on Carolina Avenue. More work by the family can be seen there.

Below are a few snapshots of the show:

The Black Creek Arts Center is located at 116 W. College Avenue in Hartsville, SC. For more information about this show or the Arts Center, contact Bruce Douglas at 843.332.6234.
