Courtesy of the artist and Moti Hasson Gallery, New York THE WINDS: Work included in Jiha Moon exhibit at The Mint Museum of Art. 
Ever recall being told a good story of great joy or regret or sorrow, and later, on attempting a recall, you forget the entire tale except for the feeling attending the yarn? That’s a Jiha Moon painting. Ethereal, luxurious, undulating, captivating, carry-you-away from yourself vivid. Hard nails run soft down your back. Can’t remember what you saw, won’t soon forget what you felt.
Wander the maze of galleries of the Mint Museum till you discover Turbulent Utopia, an exhibit of paintings by Jiha Moon. For The Rest of the story

What is the New South? Why do I call Charlotte the “Heart of the New South?” Visit the Levine Museum of the New South and find out…

COURAGE: The Carolina Story That Changed America Half a century ago Carolina families launched a lawsuit that changed America. This lawsuit was the first of five across the country that would lead to the 1954 landmark Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. The Brown decision ruled racially segregated schools unconstitutional and set in motion a series of events that continue to shape our lives today. Few Americans realize that what’s known as the case of the century, started in the Carolinas. The final chapters of Brown played out in the Supreme Court, but the story began when a country preacher named Rev. J. A. De Laine and his neighbors in Clarendon County, SC filed a lawsuit demanding the end of separate, unequal schools for their children. On January 31, Levine Museum of the New South opens COURAGE: The Carolina Story That Changed America. |
