RCPL Hosts In the Spirit of Q: A Retrospective Exhibit
The Richland County Public Library will host In the Spirit of Q: A Retrospective Exhibit by local artist Quincy Pugh in the Wachovia Gallery of the Main Library, 1431 Assembly St., through December 12.
The exhibit focuses on the inner beauty of African-Americans, as opposed to the beauty of their surface. His works reflects his interests in nature and gardening, the importance of reading, civil rights and abstract expressionism.
“Art has always been a very important part of my essence, but a very personal journey,” said Pugh, who is the manager of 1431, RCPL’s enhanced home of Film and Sound at the Main Library. Pugh was also responsible for the exhibits displayed in the Wachovia Gallery for more than 10 years. |

AAF Of The Midlands Awards Scholarship to Diversity Internship Program Recipient
The American Advertising Federation (AAF) of The Midlands recently selected Kain Robinson to complete the AAF of The Midlands Diversity Internship Program. The Club also awarded him with a scholarship at their annual kick-off event.
After spending time at a local advertising agency, printer and television station, Robinson, a sophomore at Irmo High School, chose to spend a week at The Colonial Center. There he shadowed staff members in their day-to-day tasks and got a glimpse of what its really like to work for The Colonial Center. After his internship was complete, Robinson was presented with a scholarship check from AAF of The Midlands.
Robinson was chosen from a pool of applicants after he wrote an essay on why a career in advertising interested him. AAF of The Midlands accepts applications each year from minority applicants between seventh and tenth grade for the Diversity Internship Program. Applications for the 2009 Diversity Internship Program will be available at aafmidlands.com and through school guidance counselors beginning in November. |
