Apply to host the Smithsonian exhibit "Water/Ways"

SC Humanities is pleased to announce a special South Carolina tour of Water/Ways, an exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution that dives into water-an essential component of life on our planet, environmentally, culturally, and historically. Developed as part of the Museum on Main Street (MOMS) program, this exhibit is designed especially for small cultural organizations and rural audiences that lack regular access to traveling exhibitions due to space and cost limitations. 

The exhibit will tour six South Carolina communities from June 2020 – April 2021. Eligible host sites include small museums, libraries, historical societies, cultural centers and other community venues in towns of fewer than 20,000 residents. Applications are due by April 2, 2019. Host sites receive free exhibit rental, a grant to support local community programming, opportunities for professional development, and more.

For more information, please download the information and application form, or contact T.J. Wallace at 803-771-2477 or tjwallace@schumanities.org.
