Members of the Carolina Ballet Company
at Arts International
Intrepid patrons of the arts braved wind and rain Saturday to enjoy Arts International at Francis Marion University.
The event, a union of Francis Marion University's Art's Alive and the Pee Dee International Festival, featured simultaneous performances at several different venues on campus.
Originally scheduled to take place inside and outside, rain Saturday forced outside events inside.
The Blues and Beach Stage was moved to Cauthen Educational Media Center’s Lowrimore Auditorium and the main stage performances moved to the gym. Youth art activities moved to the south patio.
Scheduled to perform were Chinese Acrobats for the Bureau of Lectures; Ngoma Za Kongo; and steel drummers, Pans In The Sand.
The Bay Street Brassworks, a nationally and internationally acclaimed touring brass quintet and the Palmetto Mastersingers, a choral group of more than 60 men, performed in Kassab Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
The Blues Buckets of the UK and Virginia; Professor Bottleneck & Harmonica Frank of Germany; Michael Charles Blues Band of Australia; The Rockin’ Jake Band of New Orleans; and Continental Divide of Charlotte, N.C. will perform on the Blues/Beach Stage.
Beyond the performers, artists from across the Southeast showed and sold their work at the festival
Food vendors representing countries all over the world were on hand to give visitors a taste of the world while cultural booths had displays that featured global history, businesses and organizations.
