ARTS-IN-EDUCATION
"Arts-In-Education" is a grant program designed by the South Carolina Arts
Commission by which qualifying organizations bring artists in to SC schools to
enhance student learning.


With the generous support of our citizens, local businesses and matching grants from
the South Carolina Arts Commission, the Barnwell County Arts Council has been able
to continue its participation in this program and therefore supplement the art
education programs in our local schools.  In the recent past BCAC  organized and
sponsored the performances of the following artists in the schools of Barnwell County:
musical performer Sean Driscoll; Storyteller Tim Lowry; African Drumming troup,
Borenya!; and muralist Marie Cheek.  For several consecutive years,
Mr. Russ Petty has
lead students in painting murals; a tradition BCAC plans to continue.  Here are a few
photos of the murals decorating the halls of Blackville Macedonia, Kelly-Edwards and
Barnwell Primary school.
