✨ Masterpiece Monday: Historic Columbia Gazebo at Hampton-Preston Mansion Gardens ✨

Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic oaks, the Historic Columbia Gazebo at the Hampton-Preston Mansion Gardens is one of Columbia’s most enchanting hidden treasures. 🌳🏛️

This beautifully crafted structure serves as a centerpiece within the historic gardens, inviting visitors to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of one of Columbia’s most beloved landmarks. Surrounded by lush greenery and centuries of history, the gazebo is a reminder of how thoughtful design and preserved spaces enrich our community and connect us to the past.

Public art, architecture, and historic preservation all play a role in creating places that inspire us—and this charming gazebo does exactly that.

✨Artist Spotlight: Joel Cothran✨

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on Columbia artist Joel Cothran, a multidisciplinary creator whose work blends painting, mixed media, storytelling, and personal reflection. Inspired by memory, place, family history, and the natural world, Joel’s art invites viewers to slow down, connect, and discover meaning in the everyday. His creative practice spans everything from murals and illustrations to writing and handcrafted works, all rooted in a deep appreciation for process and human connection.

Through his thoughtful and imaginative approach, Joel continues to enrich Columbia’s creative community and inspire others to see familiar stories in new ways.

The Vista Neighborhood Association and One Columbia have announced the unveiling of a new sculpture, “Traverse”, by Clark Ellefson on Tuesday, June 30 at 10:00 a.m. The event will take place on the south side of the Lincoln Street Tunnel and is free and open to the public. The new sculpture is designed to celebrate the history and spirit of the Vista community.

“This new sculpture really captures what the Vista is all about,” said Abby Anderson, Executive Director of the Congaree Vista Guild. “It captures the historical significance of our district and is appropriately placed at one of our most notable sites.”

The installation was commissioned by the Vista Neighborhood Association, in partnership with the Congaree Vista Guild and One Columbia for Arts and Culture.
