1593 Gallery Reception

In support of creative artists during our current pandemic, the Koger Center for the Arts launched the 1593 Project: A Call for Art in 2020. Kimberly Case, an Irmo-based photographer, won the 2020 Project and will be featured as the main exhibitor in the Upstairs Gallery. The Koger Center is proud to continue supporting South Carolina artists through this exhibition and will commemorate the winner and runners-up through the Opening Reception which will be held on April 8, 2021 from 5:00pm-7:00pm. The Opening will invite community members to enjoy the art with timed entry slots that will be reserved through phone or email.

To reserve a spot to the Gallery Opening, please email Lauren Smith (Las6@mailbox.sc.edu) or call 803-777-7500. Time slots are 5:00-5:30pm, 5:40-6:10pm, and 6:20-7:00pm.

Kimberly Case, the 2020 Project winner, is an award-winning local visual artist focusing on fine art and portrait photography. Hallmarks of her work are richness and whimsy. Her photographs are often mistaken at first for paintings due to their tones and aura.
