Richard Samuel Roberts: A Columbia Legacy

Richard Samuel Roberts (1880 - 1936) established his photo studio at 1119 Washington Street in Columbia in 1922. He was one of only a few professional African American photographers operating in the South at that time and counted the burgeoning Black middle class as his patrons. Largely self-taught, Roberts possessed a keen eye for detail and composition, elegantly posing his sitters in a manner that exuded dignity and grace.

Kate Hooray Osmond: Beautiful Everything Now

Beautiful Everything Now is a survey dedicated to Kate Hooray Osmond, the Charleston-based painter whose work explores awareness through a nonjudgmental lens, and the coexistence of multiple experiences. Luminous color and unexpected vantage points converge into scenes where joy and sorrow, creation and destruction, and distance and intimacy all unfold at once. Osmond’s paintings resist fixed readings, instead presenting a dynamic visual field in which meaning remains fluid and unresolved.
