Coastal Community Foundation is honored to announce Gret Mackintosh as the 2022 Griffith-Reyburn Lowcountry Artist of the Year. The Lowcountry Artist of the Year award supports the creation of a new artwork that represents the look and feel of the South Carolina Lowcountry’s lifestyle, culture or environment.
After a 13-year career as a landscape architect, Mackintosh decided in 2018 to focus on her art full-time. She is a painter, working primarily with acrylics, but also with watercolors and oils occasionally. Drawing on her background, Mackintosh’s work is often nature-inspired, with her latest pieces focusing on aerial views of the Charleston region.
For the Griffith-Reyburn award, Mackintosh plans to paint an aerial map of the Charleston peninsula framed by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers on each side. While the medium, size and subject of this piece will be similar to her previous work, this will be her first time painting a more detailed depiction of downtown Charleston.
“Maps are relatable to everyone, that’s the neatest thing about them,” said Mackintosh. “The Lowcountry is so full of character of all types: a rich history of land, waterways and natural features that shape our lives every day, roads and bridges and the urban areas that provide connections. This painting will tell a unique story of the Lowcountry.”
The Lowcountry Artist of the Year award was established at Coastal Community Foundation in 2003 by Mike Griffith and Donna Reyburn. The $6,000 grant is intended to cover the artist’s living expenses during the creation of the piece, allowing more time and energy to be spent on the artistic process.
Once complete in the fall of 2022, the piece will remain the personal property of the artist, to keep, show or sell at her discretion. Mackintosh’s past work can be found online at gretmackintosh.com.
Alot.com has named its 25 Top Hippie Hideouts in the United States and our beloved Folly Beach made the list.
The publication described Folly Beach by saying:
“Charleston, South Carolina might be the most famous trendy city in the state, but if you want a real hippie experience, you’re going to want to travel a few miles south of the city to the town of Folly Beach. This place is so far out that you might not even realize you’re still in South Carolina!
Though you might not realize it, Folly Beach is prime real estate for surfing, so the town attracts all sorts of laid-back, beach bum types—perfect for any hippie at heart! After a day of surfing, you might even find that a drum circle has spontaneously coalesced on the shore. And don’t forget to give Bert’s 24-hour market when the munchies hit at strange times!”
“What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?” – Henry David Thoreau
Imagine that, today would have marked the 82nd birthday of John Lennon and yesterday marked the 51st anniversary of the release of “Imagine”
Thank goodness the dreamers still live on…
About Imagine
This Day in History: October 8, 1971
On this day in 1971, October 8, one of the greatest songs ever written was released. On October 8, 1971, one day before his 31st birthday, John Lennon released “Imagine”, a song that today, still provides a global message of peace, love, and unity. Its words, so simple and clear, resonate with power and emotion.
Let us take a few moments to listen to his words and think about how we make the world a better place
John Lennon, the Dreamer
John Lennon was a man who led a revolt, a revolt for peace around the world. Tolerance and acceptance are sometimes the most simple yet most difficult things to achieve. John believed in both. He united children, adults, enemies, and families and taught us to love one another through selfless actions and generosity.
John didn’t believe in religious differences, race or ethnic differences, or social barriers. He believed in the goals of respect, equality, and peace.
Deep down inside, once you shed the fame and celebrity status, was a simple man who created a vision with his music that so many of us try to adhere to each and every day.
He only asked one thing of all of us and that is to look inside ourselves for the truth.
John once said “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” Think about that statement. We all share a common goal in life and that is happiness. Some find happiness in material wealth while others find it in the comfort of being surrounded by loved ones. He broke the barriers of difference and promoted individual thought coated with the bond of true love.
John transcended reality and fantasy and made it one. He wanted us to believe in everything and the magic it has to offer.
Here are just a few of the most inspirational words he was able to share during his living years:
“Everything is clearer when you’re in love.”
“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?”
“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.”
“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”
“It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what color my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.”
“Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.”
“My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”
“The more I see the less I know for sure.”
“We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.”
From all the musicians, poets, mothers, fathers, children and dreamers, Thank you John for inspiring all of us with the poetry of love.
Last week several staff gathered for lunch at Cooper River County Park to wish 83-year-old Dick Brannan a happy retirement!
Dick started working for Charleston County Parks part-time 18 years ago at the James Island County Park campground and then moved over to Cooper River County Park as an operations aide. We’re thankful for all the time and effort he has given us over the years!
