Sunday, February 21. Arboretum.

Tucked away in a quiet inner city neighborhood is one of Columbia's most special places: the University of South Carolina's Belser Arboretum. It's located east of Shandon in the Sherwood Forest neighborhood. This seven-acre tract has a long looping trail which makes the whole place accessible. Covered in wooden chips, the path goes uphill and downhill. It crosses a small wooden bridge, as well as a stream with four waterfalls. In the valley, there's a Zen garden with rock piles suggestive of a miniature Stonehenge. Volunteers have put up dozens and dozens of unobtrusive tags and plaques explaining it all. Unlike city parks, the arboretum is not generally open to the public. But on the third Sunday of every month, it opens its doors to the public for three hours. What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Visit the Arboretum for additional information.

Sunday, February 21. SC Contemporary Dance Company: The Chemistry of Color.

Choreographed by Miriam Barbosa, with an original composition by USC School of Music professor, John Valerio, this performance is inspired by artist Alvin Loving’s Midtown series. Visit the Columbia Museum of Art for more information.
