Can you imagine a black and white Charleston with no art world, and no creative professionals? Thank goodness for the folks who keep our community colorful and unique. This month, riding the wave of creative energy that Spring time brings to the Lowcountry, we are focusing on these very "creatives". Appropriately, the team at Gil Shuler Graphic Design has invited us to step into their offices for the Member Meeting (Wednesday, May 9th 6:00 - 7:30) this month and take just an hour and a half to focus on supporting the local arts. You've seen their work around town everywhere from Hubee D's and the Barn Jam posters to Husk and the new City Market. Here's a chance to get to know our hosts a bit before Wednesday:
