Activity 3

Visual and media arts with the support of the national endowment for the arts, south arts coordinates touring exhibits to regional museums and galleries in the south. Visual and media arts includes the exhibits program, american masterpieces, and southern circuit tour of independent filmmakers. The exhibits program tours showcases of traditional and contemporary art. In fy2011, rural and underserved communities presented 6 showings of our exhibitions, exposing a combined audience of over 5,000 to the creativity and artistic diversity of southern arts and culture. American masterpieces (tradition/innovation) is a traveling exhibit that originally featured 120 artworks created by masters living and working in the south today. Among the artists in the exhibit are six recipients of the national endowment for the arts' national heritage fellowship, the country's highest honor for traditional artists. Tradition/innovation toured one museum for extended installation in fy2011. It was redeveloped into a smaller exhibit to facilitate a national tour. Traditional/innovation now contains 43 artworks from the original collection, and in this new iteration has traveled to one additional venue. Southern circuit tour of independent filmmakers provides communities across the south with a tour of highly talented independent filmmakers. Twenty six partner communities presented 156 film screenings and engaged filmmakers in post-screening discussions across the southern united states. Southern circuit is the nation's first regional tour of independent filmmakers, providing communities with an interactive way of experiencing independent film. In fy2011, over 10,000 individuals participated in southern circuit screenings including 18 filmmakers and audiences in 26 communities throughout the south arts' nine-state region.
