Palmetto Project depicts life in South Carolina The MUSC Art Committee and Student Government Association are presenting a photographic exhibition beginning March 21 as part of the first Palmetto Portraits Project, a collaborative endeavor with the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the South Carolina State Museum.   These are a few of the many photographs depicting  life across South Carolina that will be on display in the MUSC Library. The exhibition will display works by six South Carolina photographers who have captured South Carolinians in moments from their daily lives. The intent of the exhibition is to remind students, faculty and staff of the many people across the entire state from all walks of life who MUSC serves each and every day.   An exhibit and luncheon will be held for MUSC students at noon March 21 in the Education Center/Library Building. MUSC faculty, staff and general public are welcome to attend a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. that evening. MUSC commissioned noted photographers to portray through their work South Carolinians in the Lowcountry, the Piedmont and the Upstate—reflecting the full range and diversity of the state's citizens, occupations and recreational activities. As part of its effort to establish a permanent collection of work  at MUSC, the university and its partners are also donating an identical set of photographs to the permanent collection of the S.C. State Museum in Columbia.     Friday, March 8, 2007 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
