November 9th, 2009 - December 9th, 2009 at 1:00 pm

The Brooks Center for the Performing Arts is Clemson University’s home for the performing arts. But some people may not be aware that they also are a great place to check out art! And they are having a FREE art exhibit right now!

The Brooks Center is having an exhibition called Caffeine South and it will showcase the art of several Upstate artists. The Brooks Center is in partnership with The Arts Center of Clemson for this exhibit. All kinds of interesting and different types of art is being shown such as paintings, mixed media sculptures, collages, and assemblages. The art has been created by local artists such as Allen Coleman, Lynn Greer, Eileen Powell, Alexia Timberlake, Deborah Pagano, Darlene Fuhst, and J.J. Ohlinger.

The FREE exhibition will be available to view in the Brooks Center Lobby during regular box office hours, 1-5 p.m., beginning Monday, Nov. 9, through Wednesday, Dec. 9. The exhibits can also be seen during Brooks Center performances. It sure is nice to see the residents of Upstate SC can enjoy fine art without having to drive several hours. I hope you remember to tell your friends and neighbors about the Brooks Center.

The Brooks Center, located in Clemson, provides quality education in fine arts, music, and personal development for all ages. The center offers numerous exhibitions of original art work, most created by artists living in the area and throughout South Carolina.

They Came From Mars And Landed........

Mark Brian: Real Estate Agent in Anderson, SC

I just found out that the Foothills Playhouse in Easley is going to be presenting the wild and crazy comedy "They Came From Mars and Landed Outside the Farndale Avenue Church Hall in Time for the Townswomen's Guild's Coffee Morning." It sure is a long title, but it sounds like a funny story.

The story is about a group of Farmsdale Avenue ladies attempting to put on a unique production of a sci fi thriller. High tech effects going awry and the limited talents of some of the Dramatic Society ensure laughs as the the cast struggles to perform. The tear jerking culmination has hysterical audiences on the edges of their seats. Call 864-855-1817 to make reservations or visit their website at www.easleyfoothillsplayhouse.com.

Performances on November 6 and 7 are at 8 p.m. with the November 8 matinee at 3 p.m.

Foothills Playhouse is located in the Old West End Elementary School at 201 S. 5th Street in Easley.
