THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?

Manufacturers have introduced sleek and fitted designs that offer a more fashionable look while maintaining the required safety standards. This allows individuals to feel confident and stylish while wearing their high visibility jacket.
Color Variety: High visibility safety jackets are typically available in bright and vibrant colors, such as neon yellow, orange, or lime green.

This variety allows individuals to select a high visibility jacket that aligns with their personal style preferences.
Reflective Elements: High visibility safety jackets feature reflective elements, such as strips or tapes, that enhance visibility in low-light conditions. These reflective materials are strategically placed to catch and reflect light, making the wearer more visible from different angles. Manufacturers often use advanced reflective technologies to increase the visibility range and effectiveness of the jacket.

This helps regulate body temperature and prevents discomfort or overheating during physical activities or in warmer climates. Mesh panels or ventilation systems may be incorporated into the jacket to enhance breathability and overall comfort.
Waterproof and Windproof Features: Some high visibility safety jackets offer additional functionality by incorporating waterproof or windproof features. These jackets are designed to protect the wearer from rain, snow, or wind, ensuring comfort and safety in various weather conditions. Waterproofing materials and sealed seams prevent water penetration, while windproofing features protect against cold drafts.
Multiple Pockets and Storage Options: High visibility safety jackets may include multiple pockets and storage options. These pockets allow individuals to carry essential items such as mobile phones, tools, or identification cards conveniently. The placement and size of the pockets are designed to balance functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that the jacket remains practical without compromising style.
Customization Options: Some high visibility safety jackets offer customization options, allowing individuals or companies to add logos, names, or additional branding elements. This customization feature enables businesses to maintain a consistent identity while promoting safety in the workplace. It also allows individuals to personalize their jackets and add a touch of uniqueness.
Durability and Longevity: High visibility safety jackets are constructed with durable materials to withstand demanding work environments. They are designed to be long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that they remain functional and effective for an extended period.

In Ghana, hardworking individuals often prioritize work over self-care. But there's a unique self-care ritual that's both practical and efficient – using the Ghanaian sun to dry their hair while they work.
In a country where time is precious, many Ghanaians wash and set their hair but can't spare the time to sit under a hairdryer. Instead, they turn to the reliable Ghanaian sun. While going about their busy workdays, they let the sun naturally dry their hair, harnessing nature's power to save time and money.
This practice is a testament to their resourcefulness, showing that self-care can be integrated into even the busiest of lives. It's a reminder that self-care doesn't always require elaborate routines; sometimes, it's as simple as making the most of what's readily available.
So, when you see a Ghanaian worker with their hair drying in the sun, appreciate the ingenuity behind this practical form of self-care.

The Beacon Hill Bike Route project was prioritized based on public feedback and City Council actions over the past several years. The purpose of this project is to create a safe and comfortable bike route that connects people to businesses and community destinations in Beacon Hill. This project is partially funded by the 9-year Levy to Move Seattle, approved by voters in 2015.
The Beacon Hill light rail station is a hub for travel and community in Beacon Hill.
‘The Political Reporter’ is a new media installation by Boone, NC-based artist Mark Nystrom that generates random, but intriguing statements with words found on political websites and in the media. Sources include the Obama and Romney presidential campaigns, the Democratic and Republican parties, bloggers and the news media.
‘The Political Reporter’ animates a cloud of letters and periodically makes statements. These images are screen grabs taken while ‘The Political Reporter’ was running on Election Day and the day after.
Letters from words gathered from conservative sources are colored red and ones from liberal sources are blue. ‘The Political Reporter’s’ vocabulary includes over 70,000 words, but only 300 appear on the screen at any given time. As words are used to make statements, they are replaced by randomly chosen new ones from the list of 70,000.

It is always the complexity of an object that attracts and inspires me, and the complexity of an object that I want to achieve in its final form.
Achievement in metalsmithing happens, if at all, at a glacial pace. Around 2017, after some time teaching in Malaysia and returning to my family home in Vermont, I began to prioritize my studio practice, moving energetically away from production and collaboration work, challenging myself to reach the highest level I could in my techniques: raising, chasing, and repoussé. With this intention, I organized a lifestyle that freed up my time to work in my studio and take advantage of residencies. In this new mode, I started making the first two in what would become a five-piece series of Sea Monster Stirrup Cups. It was at this point that I began to commit to myself as an artist.
I had become fascinated by the sea monsters drawn by cartographers on 16th and 17th century maps, illustrating the real and imagined properties of what dwelled in the ocean. The stirrup cup, otherwise known as a parting or hunting cup, was served to the hunter or traveler (still on horseback, in his stirrups), and typically made in the shape of an animal to be hunted. The fear of the unknown, taking a risk and departing in a new direction (leaving my production work, focusing on art, and eventually starting my three-year residency at Penland) is embodied in this work. Over the next three years, I created four silver cups. I will eventually complete the final one in gold.
What I make and how I make it takes many intensive labor hours of hammering, unwieldy and difficult-to-acquire equipment, space, high material expense, and physical toll. Therefore the objects that I choose to create mean a great deal to me. Manifesting them is a years-long proposition. By the time I am ready to make the final iteration, I know the dance exactly, and know how the material will neither lose or be added to in mass in its crafting. The Stirrup Cups are just one example, and they provide an insight into my studio life, which is populated by both finished volumetric objects and the numbered copper multiples that I have crafted along the way to the final object whose making has been calibrated exactly. Therefore any form I make has to be honest to me, somehow, and each one, in series, is that.

Almost 10,000 items of men's, women's, and children's fashions from the early 18th century to present-day haute couture are included in the museum's collection of Historic Costume and Fashionable Dress, which approaches fashion as an art form.

The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.'

Provixin A good muscle building program should prioritize strength above all else. You can tell if you are stronger by keeping track of the weights and reps you do each workout. When you first begin working on your muscles, you should see a 5 percent increase in the amount you can lift after every other session. You need to reassess your program if your progress is slower than this. If you sense you have not gained strength since your last workout, you may not have allowed yourself sufficient recovery time. Pre-exhausting muscles is a great way to build the most stubborn groups. As an example, you may find that your bicep muscles fatigue earlier than your lats when doing rows. The solution is to try isolation movements like straight-arm pulldowns, so that the bicep is not the point of emphasis. Therefore, you will pre-exhaust your lats. When it is time to perform rows, you shouldn't be limited by your biceps. Try to be realistic with your muscle-building goals. The most effective way to get the results you want is to develop your muscles during hundreds of workouts that are spaced out over a period of time. Cheating by using steroids, stimulants, and other substances can harm your body in both the short term and the long term, and may lead to chronic health problems. Make sure that you examine your body to determine what you can and cannot do. This will help you get an understanding of your goals and your base point. What are your composition and body weights? When attempting to increase your muscle mass, eat a lot of fresh foods. Stay away from boxed and pre-packaged foods because these have a lot of chemicals, preservatives, and fillers which can decrease your immune system and cause disease. Consuming food that is healthy will strengthen your immune system and enhance your efforts to build muscle. Take advantage of creatine supplements. Including this in your muscle building approach might help you push your limits more than before, encouraging muscle growth. If you plan to include dietary supplements in your routine, you must always exercise caution.
