"ON THE LAND" EXHIBIT AT ERSKINE COLLEGE BOWIE ARTS CENTER

Coming to the Bowie Arts Center at Erskine College for the month of September, "On the Land: Three Centuries of American Farmlife" documents the long lives of five of the oldest farms in America through photographs by Stan Sherer and interviews by Michael Gery. Organized by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, "On the Land" is presented by ExhibitsUSA.

The exhibit depicts the daily activities of family members as they plant crops, feed animals, apply new technologies to ancient tasks, and cope with the vagaries of weather and government regulations. Sherer's photographs are supplemented with profiles written by Gery, creating a complex portrait of family farm life in an increasingly urbanized society.

The Bowie Arts Center is located on the campus of Erskine College on Bonner Street in Due West. Normal hours when the college is in session are Monday through Thursday 1 to 4:30 p.m., Saturday 2 to 4 p.m., and the first Sunday of each month 2 to 4 p.m. For further information, please call Mrs. Margaret Adams at 864-379-8867.
