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.

The four walls of the studio are the same, but each artist brings their medium and personality to the space. Generally, you see finished work on the walls which gives you an idea of the artist and their style.
