Tyrone Geter: Purgatory
Ain’t Nothin’ but the Blues
Through October 16, 2008
Dalton Gallery /
Clinton Junior College
Rock Hill, South Carolina
Columbia, SC, artist Tyrone
Geter exhibits his large scale drawing and
collage pieces in Clinton
College's
Dalton Gallery. Geter’s mother grew up
during an age of day-to-day survival filled with
the perils of discrimination and poverty.
Still, she passed her legacy of love,
compassion, hope and a sense of “doing the right
thing” on to her children. Geter’s work
finds it foundation in that legacy.

ACE
Projects
is an
outgrowth of the Dalton Downtown Arts
Initiative. One
goal of ACE is to expose students to the vital
importance of artists' participation in civic
engagement at every level. ACE
recognizes that we live in an era of a
significant paradigm shift that will impact
where we go, how we go, and the quality of where
we live. ACE is
taking a step to refocus its goals and
activities around the concept of student civic
engagement via the arts. Some
of the primary activities of Artists & Civic
Engagement Projects (ACE Projects) will include:
-
An emphasis on its significant partnership
with Clinton College's Dalton Gallery;
-
Enhanced collaboration with downtown venues;
-
Sponsorship of student artists in the
development of community-based projects
downtown;
-
Support for significant visiting artists who
address the idea of arts and civic
engagement;
-
Advocacy for quality public art and design
throughout the community; and
-
The introduction of exceptional artists to
children through partnerships with local
schools.
