GCS teachers are finding creative virtual ways to engage students n by JEANNIE PUTNAM | photo KAITLIN WILBANKS

When Gov. Henry McMaster ordered the closure of all South Carolina K-12 public schools on March 15, Greenville County Schools scrambled to help its teachers plan for the initial two weeks of using the eLearning platform for internet-based classes.

“It was a Friday afternoon after school when we received an email saying we may be closed about 10 days or so,” said Blythe Academy fourth grade teacher Shasta Kelly Looper. “I was sitting in my living room, and I felt like I needed to start doing something.”

Looper used that weekend to make sure that her students had access to resources such as Discovery Education for videos and Scholastic Online for free magazine articles.

In addition to the work done by the individual teachers to ensure that digital tools were in place, the school district had the teachers come in on March 16 to map out what eLearning looked like for each grade level and subject.

It’s still amazing to me how basically every teacher in Greenville County retooled their entire approach to teaching in such a short period of time.”

- Kaitlin Wilbanks, science department chair, Ralph Chandler Middle School “Many of us were concerned and confused because we didn’t know what this was supposed to look like,” Ralph Chandler Middle School science department chair Kaitlin Wilbanks said. “We’ve been using technology inside the classrooms for a couple of years now, but it’s completely different when you aren’t there in person to help lead your students through it.”

Planning went quickly. “We basically had to create two weeks’ worth of lessons in two days — lessons that were engaging and informative but could also be completed at home with minimal difficulty,” said Wilbanks. “We had to meet as a school, as grade-levels and as content-teachers constantly. It’s still amazing to me how basically every teacher in Greenville County retooled their entire

approach to teaching in such a short period of time.”

With more time out of the physical classroom, teachers are working to find creative ways to engage the students. Looper has had her students perform scavenger hunts around their own homes and show the items they find on camera during their Google Meet sessions. Blythe Academy K-5 Spanish immersion teacher Beatriz Powell has taken to reading a daily bedtime story aloud as well as making video messages to make sure that her students know she is there for them during this uncertain time.

To further enhance the digital experience, Wilbanks has had her seventh-grade students take a virtual field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, watch a live frog dissection and ask questions about the trip from their Chromebooks.

While the digital world has helped the teachers engage their students and keep them learning, the teachers are concerned about the emotional toll of current events on their students.

“I think the biggest challenge that students and teachers are facing — really all of us — is just the mental and emotional toll of isolation,” said Wade Hampton High School math teacher Meredith Smith. “I worry about my students who don’t have as much home support and really rely on their network of friends and adults at school to help them cope with the stresses of teenage life. I am especially sad for my senior students who are missing out on so many rites of passage for their senior year. Teenagers are such social beings by nature, and I know they are struggling with not being able to interact with their friends in person.”

FROM THE COVER

A growing trend in a work-from-home world n story by JOHN JETER | photos PROVIDED

oDee Watkins, Audrey Cook and NaJhome tasha Greer have been working from for years, long before “WFH” be-

came a Twitter hashtag and well before a global pandemic made it, for many, a requirement.

“I just thought I would like to make an extra $500 a month,” says Watkins, 50, an independent consultant for a skin care line. “And so I’m going to tell all my friends because I know all my friends would love to make an extra $500 a month.”

Watkins sells Rodan + Fields skin care products. Cook, also an independent consultant, offers Arbonne’s beauty, health and wellness merchandise. And Greer is one of those “Avon ladies” — a term coined in the 1950s for one of the best-known so-called MLMs. Welcome to multilevel marketing, whose 6.2 million “direct sellers,” of whom 60% are women, rang up $35.4 billion in retail sales in 2018, according to the Direct Selling Association.

THE DREADED ‘P-WORD’

Call it direct selling, network marketing, a side hustle or stay-at-homemom work — but don’t call it a pyramid

scheme, at least not around the Upstate women interviewed here.

“I let people know, ‘Hey, I built my business from the ground up,’” Cook, 40, says of her full-time job selling Arbonne’s makeup, skin care, hair, nutrition, and bath and body products. “If someone were to join my team, I’m not going to make money off of them just for signing up.”

She and others explain that a pyramid scheme typically focuses on recruitment, usually with easy-money, get-rich-quick promises: A promoter harvests distributors, who pay potentially exorbitant buy-in fees and often must purchase large amounts of inventory or both. Pyramid schemes are illegal in the U.S. Even MLMs can give multilevel marketing a bad name.

Among the recent headline-grabbers: Last year, 190 consultants joined a class-action suit against LuLaRoe, a popular clothing retailer. One distributor said she ultimately invested — and lost — $10,000, including the $5,000 initial startup kit.

“That really gives the rest of us hardworking people a bad rap,” says Cook, regional vice president, as well as an

I let people know, ‘Hey, I built my business from the ground up.’

-Audrey Cook, Arbonne

independent consultant, for Arbonne.

“I definitely do not sit back and just make money.”

FOR THE LOVE OF PEOPLE

The half-dozen women interviewed for this article unanimously agree with Cook that they enjoy the work, even those who have moved on.

Watkins is by far the most successful.

She has 20,000 team members spread across at least three countries; by comparison, Nancy Tiller, who also sells for Rodan + Fields, has about 400.

Reputable MLMs’ independent consultants, as they’re widely known, are generally 1099 employees for IRS purposes. If a distributor feels she has been ripped off — unfair or unpaid commissions, lost investments of, say, $2,500 startup fees and the like — those claims are forwarded to wage-and-hour labor authorities, Daniel says.

IN A NUTSHELL: She and regulatory authorities, as well as some of the women interviewed for this story, urge due diligence.

Carolina, says the Better Business Bureau doesn’t investigate distributors’ or former direct sellers’ complaints against MLMs, although they do look into bogus product claims — especially now those related to COVID-19.

An example is “last week, where they’re saying that essential oils are a cure,” she says, referring to nonexistent antidotes to coronavirus. “When it comes to unfounded product claims, we investigate businesses.”

The cost to join Rodan + Fields is $45 for the “basic business kit.” As is typical with many other such companies with “downline” salespeople, Rodan + Fields consultants earn 5% commissions from their teams’ sales.

“My team has been as high as $2.1 million per month” in total sales, Watkins says.

That’s a long way from 2013, back in Virginia, near Fredericksburg, where her husband was a cop and she worked three nursing jobs at the same time: a nursing supervisor, a cardiac-care nurse and a

She kept going pretty much until she met her future husband, Jon-Michial Carter, who went on to become co-founder and CEO of ChartSpan, a chronic-care management company that in 2017 closed a $16 million round of venture capital.

Now Catherine Carter, 50, is ChartSpan’s director of administration.

Of Stella & Dot, she says, “Oh, my gosh, it was fun! I was doing house parties, going to friends’ houses and doing parties. It’s a great organization — especially if you want that kind of sorority, rah-rah kind of friendship.”

That’s how and why, when the couple first moved to Greenville, they became acquainted with Sallie Holder.

Holder says she doesn’t sell Stella & Dot anymore, mostly because she got burned out. But the onetime lawyer and now motivational speaker and author says, “It was a great way for me to learn a different skill set while I was still practicing. It was a great way for me to just get some different experience.”

DO YOUR RESEARCH

•RESEARCH the company.

•RESEARCH what other distributors are saying.

•ASK about refunds.

•READ the fine print.

•CHECK with the South Carolina Attorney General’s office for any complaints.

• Do you want to be a salesperson?

• Do you have a solid sales strategy?

• What are your income goals?

• Can you afford to risk the money and time?

TALK WITH DISTRIBUTORS

BUSINESS PLANNING

Ask tough questions and dig for details with current and past distributors.

KNOW YOUR GOALS

You do have to be a person who gets up there and talks to people, wear the jewelry, wear the clothes.

-Catherine Carter, Stella & Dot

All of the women here agree MLMs aren’t for everyone, and that research is a must.

Holder says she asks curious wannabes about their goals and what they hope to achieve — the same sorts of questions facing those who could choose to work at home.

“They can be great opportunities,” she says of MLMs’ promises and potential, “but people have to realize that they have still a drive to be in the business world.”

Food supply chain remains ‘stable and robust’

There is plenty of food.

That’s the simple message from South Carolina Department of Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers. He hopes it will reassure people all over the state, as empty shelves at grocery stores and certain limitations in food supplies have raised concerns over the food supply chain’s durability amid the coronavirus outbreak.

‘Lifesaving’ ventilator device developed

by Prisma Health gets emergency FDA approval n story by ANNA LEE | photos PROVIDED

A team of doctors at Prisma Health has developed a device that allows a single ventilator to be used on up to four patients, potentially saving thousands of lives in the midst of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday, March 25, Prisma Health officials announced that the device, dubbed the VESper, or ventilation expansion splitter, had received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“We believe the device can be lifesaving,” said Peter Tilkemeier, chair of the Department of Medicine at Prisma Health-Upstate.

Produced using 3D printing technology, the device is developed with material already used in existing medical devices and produced at minimal cost.

Prisma Health experts are now working with national COVID-19 teams that have no more ventilator capacity and can initiate emergency use of the prototype.

Immediately, we realized we had an opportunity to impact patient outcomes all over the country, and potentially beyond the U.S.” - Marjorie Jenkins, chief academic officer, Prisma Health-Upstate Emergency use authorization can offer critical care patients access to a medical device that hasn’t gone through normal FDA approval, Tilkemeier said at at the March 25 news conference. It’s only used when no comparable or satisfactory alternative options are available.

Hospitals around the country are already facing a critical shortage of ventilators, which help patients breathe and can mean the difference between life or death for those suffering from the most severe respiratory effects of the novel coronavirus.

Nationally, more than 174,000 cases of the virus have been reported as of March

31, and at least 3,400 people have died, according to a John Hopkins University database tracking the spread of the outbreak.

It was a Prisma Health emergency room physician who first came up with the idea of using a single machine on multiple people, according to Marjorie Jenkins, chief academic officer for Prisma Health-Upstate and dean of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville.

Working collaboratively with her husband, a software engineer, and a Prisma Health pulmonologist, the trio began developing specifications for a “Y” splitter tubing that could be easily produced on a 3-D printer.

“Immediately, we realized we had an opportunity to impact patient outcomes all over the country, and potentially beyond the U.S.,” Jenkins said.

Physicians used Prisma Health’s Healthcare Simulation Center to begin testing the VESper device with medical manikins, allowing for the simulation of multiple clinical scenarios. The device was able to deliver the appropriate breathing parameters without difficulty, officials said.

With Jenkins’ help, the team was able to secure FDA approval within a matter of days.

“It truly has taken a village to develop this device,” Jenkins said.

Anyone can download the source code and printing specifications for the device. Hospitals can apply by registering on Prisma Health’s website. The health system is also collaborating with other companies such as HP Inc. and its Digital Manufacturing Network to quickly scale 3D production and distribution to COVID-19 “hot spots” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Specifications for the device can even be shared globally, Tilkemeier said.

Goats are not just barnyard animals, sharing space on farms with chickens and cows.

Local goat farm owners have a different story to tell about these incredible animals and the healing powers they can have on humans.

Sandra Coffman is a recovering addict. She also co-owns Split Creek Farm in Anderson with Jessica Bell, a vet tech at a private practice in Clemson. Coffman came to South Carolina after a long, demanding career with the U.S. Capitol Police in Washington, D.C., where she came face-to-face with violence on many occasions.

Her work led her down dark paths of addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder, and she checked into a treatment facility to get help. Through her best friend, she ended up visiting Split Creek Farm, which is best known for its award-winning goat cheeses and fudge, and was blown away by the interactions with the goats.

“They saw me,” she said. “In my old life, no one ever saw me. They saw a police officer, a tough woman, but never me. The thing that people don’t get about goats is that they see you; they look at your face.

And they give you unconditional, complete love.”

A 2018 study out of the United Kingdom revealed that goats indeed intently look at human faces, deciphering emotions. Researchers were surprised, having no idea livestock such as goats were able to do this.

But do goats really have the power to touch something deep inside people that needs healing?

At Mischief Managed Farm in Greer, owner Emily Mitchell hosts a free annual event where children with special needs can interact with her goats, chickens and ponies. It’s a hefty load of work for her, but she sees the same kind of positive effects the goats have on people.

“A mother brought her autistic son to the farm and told me he refuses to play with other kids and avoids social interactions,” Mitchell said. “He ended up playing with the goats for a while, and then I watched him start interacting with the other kids in attendance. His mother had tears in her eyes and said it was the first time he had done that.”

NEED TO KNOW

People seem to gravitate toward these animals once experiencing them for the first time. At Possum Kingdom Kreamery in Belton, as well as Mischief Managed Farm, the owners open up their goat farms to the public during winter to feed the baby goats. Slots are filled almost immediately.

In my old life, no one ever saw me. They saw a police officer, a tough woman, but never me. The thing that people don’t get about goats is that they see you; they look at your face. And they give you unconditional, complete love.”

- Sandra Coffman, co-owner, Split Creek Farm A vast number of scientific studies have found that positive human-animal interaction can be responsible for a reduction in stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure and resting heart rate, promotion of calmness, a reduction in the use of pain medication and a multitude of other benefits.

The impact of the goats has been so powerful for Coffman and many others she has witnessed that she founded

Goats4Goodness, a nonprofit with the sole mission to bring happiness to others through the goats. Goats4Goodness offers goat therapy, educational tours, hands-on classes and opportunities for people to interact with the animals.

“There was this woman who came one day and sat in a ratty chair next to the baby goats, and I noticed she was sitting on her hands, just shaking,” Coffman said. “Normally we don’t let visitors hold the babies, but that day I made an exception and asked her if she would like to hold one. The second I laid a baby in her lap, she started sobbing. A few days later, she sent us a heartfelt message that this was the first outing she’s had since she lost her child. The experience made an impact on her journey of healing, and she ended up coming back several times through that kidding season.”

While visitors also come to forget about life for a bit, co-owner Bell said the farm has become a refuge for employees as well.

“We have a history of hiring people with special needs, anxiety, addictions and social disorders,” Bell said. “After working here, the difference is easy to see — they are happier, less anxious.”

Coffman said her life and so many others have taken a turn in the right direction because of the experiences with the goats.

“My retirement plan was to drink and be a gym rat,” she said. “I was a negative, miserable person as an addict. I am a much better human as a result of having goats in my life. I truly wouldn’t be who I am today as a person or in my own recovery had I not stepped foot on Split Creek.”

SIX TIPS FOR A BEAUTIFUL (OR TASTY) GARDEN

reating and nurturing a garden can be quite enjoyable for many people. Just the sight of flowers blooming and the greenery of plants and trees can be pleasant.

Fruits and vegetables grown at home give gardeners the satisfaction of being able to grow food they can serve at their own tables. According to Psychology Today, gardening even has several mental health benefits like reducing stress, learning how to be more present and developing a growth mindset where you view mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.

For gardening tips here in the Upstate, Andrew Renato Padula, owner of Padula’s Plants in Greer, provides some suggestions. Padula is an expert on garden and landscape design and native plants, which proves crucial when creating a garden in this particular climate.

You’re wanting that garden to do as much as it can to give you as much as it can.”

- Andrew Renato Padula, owner, Padula's Plants

1. SOIL MIX IS KEY

LIL GLENN, Broker in Charge 864-242-0088 • lil@lilglenn.com REX CARTER, Broker 864-423-2875 16

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // APRIL 3

GINGER CARTER, Agent 864-787-1979

Padula makes his own soil mix, which includes native amendments found in the Upstate. This is important because by making it this way, the “soil is alive with little microorganisms,” which the plants feed off of. When the seeds are started in this mix and then planted in the ground, the transfer doesn’t shock their systems. Home gardeners can do something similar by composting plant materials and soil they have on hand.

2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LOCAL MICRO CLIMATE

Micro climates are areas separate from each other that may have something to make them warmer or cooler, which matters when you’re gardening.

For example, it’s 5 degrees warmer next to a house than in a field, which means “you can get away with planting different plants there, and that 5-degree difference could keep a plant from dying through the winter,” Padula says.

3. PROPAGATE PLANTS DURING CERTAIN SEASONS

In the Upstate, Padula suggests propagating (seed starting, stem cutting) in late winter into midspring and late summer into midwinter. The worst time to propagate plants is in July, August and January.

SOLD 172 Ridgeland Drive No. 301 Ridgeland at The Park

4. DON’T OVERWATER

Padula says it is much easier to overwater a garden than underwater. “The general rule is that most plants in the area that are native prefer alternating wet and dry conditions, so you will want to do fewer deep waterings instead of daily light waterings.” And those plants at the big-box stores that say they need full sun? Padula says 90% of those will be much happier in partial sun.

5. USE PLANTS TO HELP CONTROL PESTS

When gardeners rely on chemicals for pest control, they are killing the bad guys but also eliminating the insects and animals that help control the pests. Padula suggests using pennyroyal mint (which is bad for humans but great for pest control) in the garden as well as crushing up lemongrass and incorporating it into the soil to help keep moles and underground mammals away.

6. KEEP A STOCK GARDEN

A stock garden is one you can fall back on solely for propagation. It can look wild and crazy, but there’s a good reason, says Padula. “You’re wanting that garden to do as much as it can to give you as much as it can.” Even a small stock garden will save you money, and you know where your plants are coming from.

BROADWAY BLOCKBUSTERS ‘Hamilton,’ ‘Wicked’ and ‘Evan Hansen’ among Peace Center's 2020-21 season n story by PAUL HYDE | main photo JOAN MARCUS

T

he Peace Center’s 2020-21 Broadway season will spotlight three returning blockbusters and seven newer productions, many on their first national tour.

The three shows circling back – “Hamilton,” “Wicked” and “Dear Evan Hansen” – packed the Peace Center on previous visits.

Other musicals – “Hadestown,” “Mean Girls,” “Ain’t Too Proud,” “Pretty Woman” and “Tootsie” – recently completed successful runs on Broadway or are still running, though suspended temporarily due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

“I love this season, and we’re very excited about it,” said Megan Riegel, the Peace Center’s president and CEO. “Hamilton” and “Wicked” will run for three weeks each in Greenville, helping to ensure that fans who were unable to get tickets in the past will have a better chance this time. The seven other productions will each play one week.

Next season’s Broadway series will set a record, with more than three months of musical-theater performances at Greenville’s cornerstone performing arts venue.

“It’s 14 weeks of Broadway total, so it’s the most number of weeks we’ve had in a given year,” Riegel said.

The COVID-19 epidemic preempted the annual public announcement of the Broadway series from the Peace Center stage. That much-anticipated event usually fea-

tures live and taped excerpts from the upcoming shows.

Most of the Peace Center staff, meanwhile, is currently working from home.

“We’re definitely practicing social distancing,” Riegel said, speaking by phone.

ACCENT ON THE NEW

The accent next season is on the new. Even the two classic musicals – “1776” and “Oklahoma!” – will be presented in new productions.

Several shows are enjoying their first national tours. Those tours put the Peace Center on par with performing arts venues in the nation’s largest cities.

In the past, the big shows sometimes took years to arrive at the Peace Center. That’s no longer the case.

The season opens in September with “1776” in a unique pre-Broadway run. The 1969 musical, about John Adams’ efforts to persuade the Continental Congress to vote for American independence, is being presented in a new staging by visionary director Diane Paulus.

Paulus is known for such shows as “Jagged Little Pill,” “Waitress” and the well-received circus-style “Pippin” that played at the Peace Center several years ago. The Peace Center will likely be the second stop on the “1776” tour after the show opens in Los Angeles.

“Wicked,” Stephen Schwartz’s powerful and poignant prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” was last seen in a threeweek, sold-out run at the Peace Center in January 2015.

It returns for another three weeks, Oct. 28-Nov. 15.

“Hadestown,” a mythic love story with music by singer-songwriter Anais Mitchell, won eight Tony Awards in 2019 and the 2020 Grammy Award for best musical theater album.

The critically acclaimed musical intertwines two tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife, Persephone — on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s melodies and the staging by innovative director Rachel Chavkin pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. “‘Hadestown’ is spectacular,” Riegel said.

“Oklahoma!” comes to the Peace Center in the dynamic Daniel Fish staging that won the Tony Award for best revival of a musical. Reimagined for the 21st century, this production tells the story of a community circling its wagons against an outsider.

Sexy and dark, the staging won critical acclaim on Broadway.

“It’s not your grandmother’s ‘Oklahoma!,’” Riegel said. “It’s a very fresh interpretation of the show and very artistic. It’s different from any revival I’ve

“Hamilton” garnered sold-out houses for every performance during its twoweek run at the Peace Center in December 2018. It will play three weeks when it returns, Feb. 23-March 14. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s landmark musical tells the story of a founding father — and America’s story — through a blend of hip-hop, jazz, R&B and traditional Broadway melodies.

FROM MOVIES TO MUSICALS

The next three musicals in the season — “Pretty Woman,” “Mean Girls” and Tootsie” — are based on popular movies.

“One thing that audiences like is familiarity,” Riegel said. “And these shows are incredibly well done.”

“Pretty Woman,” based on the 1990 film starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, is a modern update of Cinderella, with a prostitute and wealthy businessman falling in love. The show features an original score by Grammy Award-winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance.

“Mean Girls,” about teens fighting in a vicious battle for school popularity, is the hit musical comedy by the award-winning creative team of Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), com-

OPINION

For Greenville Symphony Orchestra, the music goes on n by DAN ADAMS | photos PROVIDED

Music, at its core, is a language that connects us across boundaries of time, space and circumstances. It is this belief in the power of music to unite people and uplift communities that compelled me to serve as the president of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra.

The Greenville Symphony has always celebrated the relationship between the incredible work of our musicians and the audiences who are moved while listening, the students who grow while learning and the communities that are connected while experiencing it together.

In these times, that connection is more important than ever. That is why the Symphony quickly jumped into action, delivering powerful programming right to you through digital platforms. Musicians invited you into their own homes for intimate performances, music educators created online tutorials for students, and we celebrated riveting moments from the Symphony’s history by sharing the best of our archives.

NOW WHAT? Talking to local

musicians about their survival plans

VINCENT HARRIS Contributor

so you can take care of your birds, add joy and smiles to your life in this challenging time.

“As a small business, we deeply appreciate the support of our customers.”

The question currently facing the Upstate’s musicians is the same one that bars, restaurants, nightclubs and all manner of other businesses are grappling with: Now what?

In this new reality, with venues closed and their biggest source of income cut off, how are local musicians going to survive?

The answer is that no one knows the answer. In conversation with four Upstate performers, I found that they have plenty of ideas, but no one knows yet what will or won’t work.

The musicians I spoke with — Mary Emma Norris of Salti Ray, Heidi Chapman of Randomonium, Robert Gowan of Wasted Wine and My Girl, My Whiskey & Me, and drummer Tez Sherard, who plays in multiple bands around town — see this period of uncertainty as a chance to try new

things, an opportunity to explore what social media can do for them, and a time to hunker down and get better at their craft.

“I think this is kind of weird, but I’m not panicking,” Norris says. “A lot of people are really scared, and I’m not for some reason, which is kind of strange for me.”

“It’s a hard thing to figure out,” Gowan says. “It’s super scary, obviously. I’ve been mostly just trying to figure out what those next steps are going to be.”

In the short term, musicians are turning to platforms like Facebook and Instagram to livestream performances and give their audience a chance to tip them using apps like Venmo or PayPal while they play. In fact, both Chapman and Norris have taken part in multi-band online music “festivals.”

“We’re not as isolated as we feel,” Chapman says. “Our technology is a huge blessing in terms of connecting with people and communicating with our audiences and each other.”

“I’ve seen lots of people doing the livestreaming-concert thing,” Gowan says, “so I’ve been working on getting the equipment to do really high-quality livestreams and thinking about different ways to make it more special or something other than people standing there playing.”

Musicians are also turning toward merchandise sales, relying on their fans and friends to buy things like albums, Tshirts, stickers and more.

“A lot of people will reach out and help you if they know where they can support you,” Chapman says. “I think that’s a very important thing to explain to people [about] what’s going on. Musicians might not want to ask for help, but you have to be open to that so that people can reach out and give you that support.”

There are obviously still a lot of unanswered questions about whether or not the online performances and merch sales will work, especially if this becomes a long period of semi-lockdown.

We’re not as isolated as we feel. Our technology is a huge blessing in terms of connecting with people and communicating with our audiences and each other.”

-Heidi Chapman, Randomonium Sherard has been a professional musician for a long time, and he’s dealt with uncertainty before. And he’s learned a few things.

“I’ve done this all of my life,” he says, “and for a person like me, it’s very scary when catastrophic things are taking place. I try to keep in the back of my mind that anything can happen, and I’ve learned the importance of saving and having a backup plan.”

In the meantime, the only thing Upstate musicians can do is take it day by day like the rest of us.

“Every day, I’m asking myself, ‘What can I do today that’s going to benefit me once this is all over?’” Norris says.

“I’m focusing on having a plan in place when things start to pick back up,” Sherard says. “This is one of the few times I’ve actually had time to think. And I’m thinking about how things are going to take off when they get back to normal.”

ART FOR GREENVILLE Anne Goldthwaite: Modern Woman

Over the past three decades the Museum’s annual fund-raising campaign, Art for Greenville, has supported the purchase of scores of important works by America’s greatest artists. While operational support from Greenville County taxpayers ensures accessibility and free admission for all, the art collection depends on donors like you and your continuing generosity.

Your commitment to the GCMA and support of its collections allows us to bring art to life for a wide range of Upstate audiences, including children and seniors. Please help us continue to grow this extraordinary educational and cultural asset—a world-class collection that’s right at home in Greenville. To learn more or to make a gift, visit gcma.org.
