If you are museum resistant, I encourage you to visit the Gibbes Museum during the week of Art Charleston. You might have a shift in perspective.

The February 2021 luncheon presented by the Women’s Council managed to bring people together in person and from home safely during Covid. They held the event in an open air tent with minimized in person numbers, masks required except while eating, tables and chairs spaced out and food covered until eaten and those are just the ones I am aware of seeing.

The February 2020 luncheon (pre-Covid) presented by the Women’s Council lived up to previous expectations. Documenting Charleston events where style drapes from the tent, florals are here, there and everywhere, food is an art and belly delight along with humorous and extremely talented guest speakers is par for the course at the Art of Design Luncheon.

Two nights back to back at the Gibbes Museum to educate and celebrate Southern art. Society 1858's mission to inspire discussion and excite up-and-coming arts patrons about the diverse range of artwork being created in the contemporary South.
