Charleston’s Arts and Culinary Scene Flourishes with Local Highlights and Upcoming Events

Hello Charleston! The creative pulse of our beautiful city is beating stronger than ever as our arts and culinary scene continues to thrive. With the weather warming up, there’s no better time to explore all that our local talent has to offer. As we look ahead to that sunny forecast for April 1, 2025, with a high of a delightful 77°F, there’s a certain sparkle in the air that’s got everyone buzzing about upcoming events.

Spotlight on Local Talent

One of the voices you’ll want to listen to is AsiahMae, our beloved poet laureate since 2022. She’s been making waves in the Charleston arts scene, and just recently, she enjoyed a lovely meal at The Select. Her dinner was highlighted by a sumptuous miso sea bass paired with the exquisite Eden’s Envy cocktail. If you haven’t been to this gem yet, it might just be time for a visit!

But the fun doesn’t stop there! AsiahMae also had the chance to attend a pilot taping of a new show at The Starlight Motor Inn. The event featured performances from the talented duo Mahoganee Amiger and her husband, Mr. Bounceback. She described the experience as nothing short of spiritual, drawing her deeper into our vibrant cultural scene.

AsiahMae has also recently praised Chris “Kolpeace” Johnson’s new exhibit at the Gibbes Museum of Art. With stunning indigo blues and clever use of negative space, his work is a must-see for anyone who appreciates art.

What’s Playing and Coming Up?

While indulging in the local flavors, you can also enjoy new tunes. AsiahMae has been spinning the album “Jupiter” by Nao on repeat, finding it immensely inspiring. Plus, if you’re in the mood for film, don’t miss out on “One of Them Days”, a buddy comedy that beautifully represents the lives of two Black women, a refreshing cultural touch in today’s cinema.
