Cultural Recommendations from Local Experts
One prominent figure in the Charleston arts scene is Charles Carmody, the director of the Charleston Music Hall and Music Farm. Recently, he engaged with audiences during a local hip-hop performance by Tyrie at the Music Farm. If you’re thinking about where to grab a refreshing drink, he suggests trying a whiskey ginger cocktail at Last Saint. And for dinner? You can’t go wrong with Chubby Fish, where, according to Carmody, you’ll find that he has “never had a bad bite.”
Art lovers take note: Carmody is a big fan of the Beeple exhibit at The Gibbes, which has been a hot topic since January. It’s certainly something worth experiencing if you haven’t already! He also enjoys jamming to Bad Bunny’s latest album, “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” and Kishi Bashi’s delightful “Kantos.” If you’re in the mood for a movie, don’t miss out on “Anora,” which has quickly become a favorite among local cinema-goers.
Spotlight on Local Women Artists
Charleston’s arts scene is filled with inspiring women making their mark. Take Zandrina Dunning, for instance, who is not just a model and singer but also the executive artistic director at ZD Experience production company. Her work showcases the incredible talent in the area.
Then there’s Haley Holzworth, the entrepreneurial spirit behind Hermosa Jewelry, who opened two trendy locations in downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant over the past year. Her chic designs reflect the unique local culture.
As we dive deeper into the literary world, Abby Duran, a poet and freelance writer, has founded VeraNation, a writing service dedicated to nurturing the craft of aspiring writers. She also plays a key role in the Free Verse Festival poetry community!
As Charleston’s poet laureate, AsiahMae actively promotes cultural discussions and community engagement through her poetry events. In these times of book bannings in schools, her work fosters an important dialogue that resonates with many.
Let’s not forget Ashley McMullen, known as “Ashley B.,” who runs the Fade to Black tattoo studio — a unique achievement as she stands out as the only female owner in Charleston. She also creates tattoos that reflect the heart of local culture.
Meanwhile, Cara Fischer brings her imagination to life with her stunning black and white pen and ink illustrations, adorning murals across the city that beautifully blend whimsy and geometric patterns.
