In celebration of the South Carolina Arts
Commission’s 50th anniversary and the Arts in
Basic Curriculum’s (ABC) 30th anniversary,
Cannons Elementary School participated in the
ABC Umbrella Project, an art installation
featuring the work of ABC sites. The installation
will take a year-long tour of businesses, arts
centers, and school districts throughout the
state. Cannons is showcasing umbrellas from
the upstate of South Carolina ABC Cannons Elementary School
schools. There are over 60 ABC schools in the
entire state. Cannons has been an ABC school
for the past six years. To fund special arts
programs, the school receives $12,000 in grant
money per year from ABC and $18,000 from a
Distinguished Arts Program grant. To honor
this commitment, each ABC site created an
umbrella to represent their school and
community.
