Documentary Film Uncommon Folk
to
The Horry County Museum 805 Main Street, Conway, South Carolina 29526
The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Uncommon Folk. This film takes a look at some of South Carolina’s unique self-taught artists, including Maxi McConnell Eades, Reverend Johnnie Simmons, L.C. Carson, Sam Doyle, Ernest Lee. and Margaret Robbins.
There are some artists that fall outside of the definition of fine art. Sometimes referred to as folk, outsider, visionary or memory artists, most are driven to create something that has a special meaning to them. Some use objects from their own backyard, or illustrate personal visions or cultural history, while others use art to cope with life. Some are celebrated locally, while the work of others goes unseen until their deaths. One thing they have in common is that they are destined to leave their impression on this world through their work.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, June 25, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2025. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
