Right now in downtown Charleston, you have the chance to see an art exhibition created exclusively for the Aiken-Rhett House — bringing art + history together in a unique setting. The limited-time opportunity is part of Charleston by Design and the Charleston Festival.
The artists’ immersive works are juxtaposed with the Aiken-Rhett House Museum’s peeling wallpaper and original furnishings.
In a preview, each of the artists shared more about their work — Fairey explained how his experiences in Charleston shaped his passion, Hussey talked about how nature inspires his craft, and Olufani shared how the space housing the art helps unveil some of his works’ deeper meanings.
Grab tickets so you can see this exclusive exhibit at the Aiken-Rhett House for yourself from now until Sunday, April 13.
