Chapin Art Museum, 3100 South Ocean Blvd., beside Springmaid Beach, Myrtle Beach. Through Mar. 17 - "Icons and Idols: A Photographer’s Chronicle of the Arts 1960-1995". Photographer Jack Mitchell’s important collection of photographic portraits that document the late 20th Century’s American art scene that thrived in New York City, including Isamu Noguchi, Louise Nevelson, Roy Lichtenstein, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indian, Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. Arts magazine raved after a retrospective exhibit of Mitchell’s work in 1974 that it was “the first time a contemporary photographer has photographed artists as individuals possessing character and identification not expressed exclusively through their art works. They are pictured as subjects themselves and not merely artifacts of secondary importance to their art.” Through Apr. 25 - "Mullen: 2009- 2012". The exhibit is a revisitation and reworking of Phillip Mullen’s past. Painting on what were previously finished pieces, Mullen returns to his earlier conceptions, expanding and bringing new light to their meaning. The end results are dynamic works of art with splashes of color, dancing traces of light and hidden layers of objects and figures that create a sense of movement, emotion and curiosity -- and compel the viewer to stop and take a closer look. Filled with subtle hints of objects and figures not obvious at first glance, many of Mullen’s paintings seem to play tricks on our eyes. These arresting images invite us into a conversation between ourselves and the canvas, challenging us to define what we are really seeing. Reception Room Gallery, Through Apr. 25 - "Room with a View: Selections from the Permanent Collection". The exhibit will feature eight works from the Art Museum’s Permanent Collection.

Featured works are comprised of both still lifes and landscapes, which are indicative of both interior and exterior spaces. Spectators will be captivated by this double entendre experience of Room with a View in the Art Museum’s room/gallery with a view. Hours: Tue.-Sat., 10am-4pm & Sun., 1-4pm.

Both artists work in different mediums from each other, although they both use elements of textiles in their art. Childers is a fine art printmaker, and primarily creates silk screen prints. She is also a textile designer and brings a tactile sewn element into select pieces. Hightower uses watercolor as her primary art medium. She also treats her art as if the paper is fabric…and has coined the term “watercolor patchwork.” Ongoing - Featuring a twenty thousand square foot facility offering affordable studio space and featuring works by 50 local artists.
