Supporting Those Affected by Hurricanes

The concert aims to raise funds for the North Carolina Arts Foundation’s NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund.

You can expect representatives from places like Charleston Stage, The Citadel, Palmetto City Ballet, and College of Charleston. They will also be gathering support for their own fundraising efforts during this event.

A Collaborative Effort

The Lowcountry Arts for WNC was created as a combined effort of various arts organizations in the Charleston area with the aim to tap into the city’s rich artistic culture and gather funds for hurricane relief. By organizing events like the Carolinas Together Hurricane Relief Concert, this collaborative seeks to leverage Charleston’s vibrant arts community to provide maximum aid and support for recovery efforts in Western North Carolina.

Community Voices Unite

“This concert reflects our community’s deep understanding of the devastation hurricanes can cause,” expressed Lissa Frenkel, President & CEO of the Charleston Gaillard Center. She added, “We are honored to partner with these incredible artists and Lowcountry Arts for WNC to make a meaningful difference for our neighbors.” Her words encapsulate the spirit of togetherness that this concert is aiming to foster.

Why This Matters

As we all know, hurricanes can leave behind a trail of destruction, impacting not only the physical landscape but also the cultural heart of communities. The efforts from Charleston’s diverse arts groups signify how powerful art can be in unifying communities that are suffering. The concert promises to be a celebration of resilience and art, showcasing performers like Charlton Singleton & Friends, Quiana Parler, Elise Testone, Marcus Amaker, Asiah Mae, and more talented artists yet to be revealed.
