Art Beyond Tradition Group Returns to the Coastal Discovery Museum for Biennial Exhibit
The Coastal Discovery Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate, will present Deliberately Unpredictable, a new exhibition by the Art Beyond Tradition Group. This biennial show features 12 Lowcountry abstract artists working in various media, including painting, collage, encaustic, sculpture, mixed media, and ink. Admission is free.
The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Thursday, September 11, from 5 to 7 pm. A gallery walk with participating artists will take place on Thursday, September 25, at 11 am.
The Coastal Discovery Museum has hosted several exhibitions by the Art Beyond Tradition Group, most recently the 2022 show Interpretations. Formed in 2006, the group was created by a handful of local artists seeking to bring more attention to abstract art in the Lowcountry.
“This show brings together artists who work independently yet share a commitment to experimenting to push the boundaries of the ordinary,” said Elizabeth Greenberg, Director of Exhibitions at the Coastal Discovery Museum.
Participating artists in Deliberately Unpredictable include:
Cindy Chiappetta, Arla Wible, Vickie Jourdan, Sharon Licata, Mark Larkin, Margaret Crawford, Jo Dye, Earline Allen, Donna Varner, Joanna Chalson, John Crum, and Linda Tully.
The Museum gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 4:30 pm, and Sunday, 11 am to 4:30 pm.

The Remarkable True Story

Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical on Broadway, this smash hit show shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.
With soaring music, this joyous story brings spirited locals and global passengers together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.
