SUMMARY:Poetry Trail of Hilton Head Island
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT\, YOU ASK?\nWell\, first\, it’s all about the poets. Did you know Hilton Head Island is packed with poets? Award-winning\, multi-published\, open mic slamming’ all-around jamming’ actual poets? Come on in! Meet us! We’ve got a trail of reading just for you. If you are here\, you have found at least one such poet. What location number was it? Where did you find it? Because whoever you found\, there are 23 more across the island! Some of the featured poets are:\nElizabeth Robin\nMiho Kinnas\nPhil Lindsey\nBarry Dickson\nLola Campbell\nSofia Segura\nBill Borg\nBill Newby\nDenise Spencer\nLuAnn Winkle\nKyle Zubatsky \nSecond\, it’s all about cool ways to see our island! The idea came about as a marriage of technology\, creative writing\, public art\, and arts-minded businesses. It’s a new way to see Hilton Head Island: through the eyes of the poets who live in the area. Confused\, wondering What is it? as you stare at the huge sculpture Carocol in Shelter Cove Park? Scan the trail sign and Elizabeth Abrams gives you one interpretation with “O’Keefe’s Woody Orchid.” It’s the kind of collaboration that makes the arts an experience.\nThird\, it’s all about collaboration! The project is a partnership between the Town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Island Writers’ Network. Restaurants and art shops and theaters and historic spots are involved\, and the poems just add to their stories. Here are some of our poetry hosts:\nArts Center of Coastal Carolina\nGullah Museum\nHHI Sculpture Installations\nHHSO Soundwaves\nPicture This Gallery\nRedfish\nRollers\nTio’s\n\nAnd finally\, it’s all about keeping it fresh. Every season of the year\, the poems at most stops will be switched out for others. As we said\, we’re packed with poets\, so we’ll swap out poems regularly so that you can meet all of them. Plus\, that reading trail will keep changing\, so you can visit again and again and it will always feel new.\nHow does it work? Along the trail are easy-to-find\, numbered signs containing two QR codes. One takes you to a poem written by a poet living in the area\, plus bonus information about that poet. The other takes you to the trail’s Facebook page\, where you can find the entire route. There\, you can plan a full tour\, or comment on the poem\, the art\, or the business you visited along the way. Scanning the sign allows the Office of Cultural Affairs to track traffic\, key data that helps direct new projects in our arts community.

SUMMARY:Gullah Virtual Library at Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Discovering the Gullah Culture\nThe Gullah people of the Lowcountry are descendants of the enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa\, and their rich cultural legacy endures. The Gullah (sometimes called Geechee) corridor extends from North Carolina to northern Florida including both the mainland and sea islands. \nAccording to Gullah expert Dr. Emory Campbell\,* the Gullah have preserved much of their African language and cultural heritage in part due to isolated living conditions. Gullah artistic traditions such as music\, storytelling\, folktales\, crafts\, basket making or “sewing” and rice-based foods encompass strong influences from West African Cultures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGullah Traditions Endure\nGullah artists such as basketweavers\, dancers\, storytellers\, and singers carry on traditions brought to the Lowcountry. For example\, coiled sea grass basketry has survived in America for 300 years\, and these baskets are now recognized as an art form. Gullah spoken language\, folktales and stories as well as spirituals and gospels are passed down from generation to generation. \n\n\nThe Gullah Virtual Library\nThis Virtual Library was designed to provide educators with resources such as videos\, lessons plans\, handouts\, and digital content. These tools aid in the study of Gullah history while allowing students to experience Gullah arts and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Emory Campbell\n*Former Penn Center Director\, former chair of the Gullah – Geechee Corridor Commission\, co-author of the new book “Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956” and a past member of the Arts Center’s Board of Trustees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCulture and Foodways\n\n\n\nDaufuskie Island Virtual Gullah Tour with Sallie Ann Robinson\n\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Presentation\nDownload\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Study Guide\nDownload\n\n\nGullah Recipes\nDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArts and Traditional Crafts\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Significance of Adinkra Symbols in Gullah Art with Amiri Farris\n\n\n\n\nPreserving the Art of Sweetgrass Basket Sewing with Michael Smalls & Dino Badger\n\n\n\n\nArtist Bios Michael Smalls and Dino Badger\nDownload\n\n\nSweetgrass Word Search\nDownload\n\n\nExploring Printmaking through African Symbols and Textiles Lesson Plan\nDownload\n\n\nUnderstanding How Symbols Communicate Stories and Meaning Presentation\nDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSongs and Stories\n\n\n\nGullah Tales with Anita Singleton Prather\n\n\n\nExploring Gullah Folktales through Puppetry\nDownload\n\n\nGullah Folktales Presentation\nDownload\n\n\nFolktales\nVisit Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHistorial Sites and PLantation Life\n\n\n\nWhat Tabby Ruins Reveal about Gullah History with Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\nSTEM Activity Engineering Tabby with Rice Cereal Lesson Plan\nDownload\n\n\nHilton Head Island Cultural Trail Map\nVisit Website\n\n\nTabby Slave Cabins: Tabby Demonstration\nWatch Video\n\n\nArchaeological History of Tabby\nVisit Website\n\n\nHeritage Library Presents: Our Storied Island\nVisit Website\n\n\nPenn Center\nVisit Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLifestyle and Community\n\n\n\nA Visit to the Gullah Museum with Storyteller Louise Miller Cohen\n\n\n\nMitchelville\nVisit Website\n\n\nOCA – Gullah Celebration Video\nWatch Video\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Gullah Education Books\n\n\n \nA Sweet\, Sweet Basket\nby Margie Clary\n\n\n \nCircle Unbroken\nby Margot Raven\n\n\n \nGullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956\nby Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAdditional support is provided by the Winthrop Family Allendale/Hampton Fund which is managed by Coastal Community Foundation of S.C.
