The exhibition is a culmination of The Image Hunter project\, in which Hitnes retraced Audubon’s travels in the United States and created work during a residency at the Halsey Institute at the College of Charleston in 2017 and 2018. The Coastal Discovery Museum is pleased to host the final stop on this national touring exhibition from April 23-July 3\, 2022. \nIn the early half of the nineteenth century\, John James Audubon spent decades tracking birds and drawing them\, hoping to create a compendium of all of the birds in the United States. Nearly two hundred years later\, the Italian painter and muralist Hitnes embarked on a twenty-city road trip to retrace and rediscover the America that Audubon traversed in the making of his opus The Birds of America (1827-39). Traveling along Audubon’s exploratory routes\, Hitnes observed\, sketched\, and painted what he saw\, creating an updated visual documentation of Audubon’s birds. \nHitnes’s exhibition documents his journey\, elaborating on what it is that drives a person to dedicate multiple decades of their life to pursuing an obsession like Audubon did. \nFrom April 19-29\, Hitnes will also paint three permanent murals on the Honey Horn property. The public is encouraged to visit the museum and see Hitnes at work.

In sharing their stories of Conroy\, his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared understanding of his lasting impact on twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary life in and well beyond the American South. \nEdited by author and artist Nicole Seitz and Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt\, Our Prince of Scribes shares the remembrances of 67 writers befriended\, mentored\, and championed by Conroy\, crafting a vibrant\, multifaceted portrait of the lifelong teacher and master storyteller.

Coupled with brief excerpts from each writer’s corresponding essay\, the portraits in this exhibition honor the spirit of generosity exemplified by Pat Conroy and by the pantheon of writers who freely gave their time and remembrances to this project. The portraits exhibition is curated by Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director and anthology co-editor Jonathan Haupt and debuted at the Conroy Center in Beaufort\, South Carolina\, during the third annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival in November 2018.
