We can’t wait to embark on this new creative process with Leslie, Laura and Janine!⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for donation options on our website or on Facebook. Thank you for your support!
GRATITUDE ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Our Month of Gratitude series GRATITUDE ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Our Month of Gratitude series concludes with a post from Kristin Alexander, artistic director:⁠ ⁠ "Growing up in New Jersey, I have so many special memories of time spent at the Jersey Shore. As an adult the ocean has remained a source of calm, inspiration, and nostalgia. I love living in Charleston for so many reasons, and being close to the water is definitely one of them. My children love the ocean as much as I do, and you can often find us at Folly Beach early in the morning before it gets too crowded or after dinner for our last activity of the day. I am so grateful we can spend a lot of time there as a family... all year long! (This picture was taken January 2021!)"⁠ ⁠ We dedicated November as our Month of Gratitude, but we know this sentiment truly extends throughout the whole year. Our week not only includes Giving Tuesday, but also our concert 'Getting There' on Friday, December 3rd! We are approaching the whole week with full hearts and gratitude for your continued support. Thank you!⁠

We will be collaborating with three wonderful women who have previously worked with the company: @lesnart2018, @alwardball and @jmccabedesign. We are incredibly thankful to have worked with so many artists over the years, and can’t wait to embark on this new creative process with Leslie, Laura and Janine!
