Through the Years: A Celebration of the Clay Center Collectors Club
Open Now through January 23, 2022 Juliet Art Museum Founded in 1986, the Collectors Club was formed by members of the Charleston community to raise funds for the then-named Sunrise Art Museum Permanent Collection. Over time, the Club expanded its role to also support educational programming, tours, lectures, visiting artists and exhibitions. Now, as they celebrate their 35th anniversary, the Club has continued to acquire works for the museum through its move to the Clay Center and the Juliet Art Museum, and since its inception, has contributed more than $500,000 for the purchase of 60+ works of art for the collection. “Through the Years” tells the story of the Collectors Club and the evolution of their acquisitions. This exhibit, which runs until December 5, presents high caliber works that have not been on display in many years. Beginning with an emphasis on 20th century works on paper and evolving to focus on West Virginian and Appalachian artists, the Club has contributed significantly to the rich holdings of the Clay Center’s permanent collection. Through the Years is presented with support from Daywood Foundation, The Elliot Family Foundation, Charles & Mary Fayne Glotfelty Foundation, Herscher Foundation, Bernard H. & Blanche E. Jacobson Foundation, Fund for the Arts (The Clay Center salutes the following major donors to Fund for the Arts whose annual gifts of $10,000 or more help keep all the arts thriving in our area including City of Charleston, Cecil I.
