Growing Art and Giving Back
While the Collective is mainly based online, founder Allison Williamson holds shows periodically throughout the Charleston area. This show will take place at the Footlight Players building, located at 20 Queen Street in downtown Charleston, and works will follow the show’s theme of “Local Color.”
“We are committed to making art a part of daily life and to be a catalyst for greater collection, exhibition, and appreciation of original art,” says Williamson.
Started in August of 2010, the Charleston Artists Collective is an online gallery where local artists can grow their potential while offering collectors access to original, affordable art. The website features new themed collections every month and fifteen percent of monthly sales are donated to local area non-profits. Since opening, the Collective has supported organizations such as the Carolina Youth Development Center, Operation Home, Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Lowcountry Open Land Trust, Share our Suzy, Camp Happy Days, Rural Missions, and Carolina Studios, among others. Charities are changed on a bi-monthly basis and to date, the Collective has raised more than $20,000 for local charities.
Along with the Sullivan’s Island artists, the show will also feature works by Mary Hoffman, Ann Keane, Dee Schenck Rhodes, Zach Collins, and Whitney Kreb. The Collective Artists will be present during the show, and attendees will be able to meet and chat with them about their works.
