We're incredibly excited to invite you to the next edition of Culture Cake, a series of arts and cultural programming at the Daniel Island location of Meyer Vogl Gallery.
This free, family-friendly event is a follow-up to last year's inaugural Black Makers event, which grew from the desire to bridge the gap between Black artisans and our Charleston community.
This year, it's all about children at this family-friendly event. Shaniequa Washington, Owner and Designer of Zuriel Kingdom Collections, has again curated a group of artisans for this year’s event:
• Shop mommy & me designs by Zuriel Kingdom Collections
• Meet celebrated South Carolina artist Ment Nelson
• Learn about Gullah Sweetgrass Baskets & palmetto roses
• Shop and make your own Gullah Dolls
• Talk self-care with Motherland Essentials
• Shop and make jewelry with Copper Cohens
• See Morowa Mosai paint live
• Plus: Dance party, sidewalk chalk contest, good things to eat and drink, & much more
We're also excited to partner with Yo Art! · Andrea Serrano · Charcuterie Happy Board · Truestar Bartending · The ZD Experience
This free, family-friendly event will take place on Sunday, October 22nd, from 3pm – 5pm, at 250 River Landing Drive on Daniel Island. Please join us!
Your RSVP is kindly requested.

About a month ago my friend and musical brother Gino Castillo informed us that he had been diagnosed with Leukemia.
Since then he has been going through chemotherapy and we have all vowed to help him out.
On October 30th we will have "Jam for Gino" at the Charleston Pour House to encourage donations to his GoFundMe Campaign that was set up by his friends.
I ask that you come out and support and/or make a donation! Thanking you in advance!

HISTORIC EAST SIDE, CHARLESTON SC - On July 15, HCF along with our partners in the community invite you to Hampstead Day for a public unveiling of this new historic marker and live music, food, and historic tours all for free and open to the community.
A little background
https://www.ccpl.org/charleston-time-machine/hampstead-village-historic-heart-charlestons-east-side
###
Hampstead Village is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charleston who’s history is often very, very over looked. What many consider the “east-side”, Hampstead Village was originally designed by henry Laurens as a residential “village” with a green space as the center.
Over the years and countless fighting from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 – Hampstead Village and “Hampstead Hill” became a valuable strategic location. Fast forward – Charleston’s Eastside community played a pivotal role in civil rights activism in the 1960s. This neighborhood has been rebuilt many, many times over the years and has witnessed major moments in Charleston’s history.
HCF is proud to honor this history by proudly sponsoring a new Historic Marker commemorating this history.
Celebrating Black Mermaids: From Africa to America
We went to see Celebrating Black Mermaids: From Africa to America on the last day of the exhibit.
We missed the 2012 installation and were determined to document the 2023 exhibit of 120 visual and fiber artists which have been on display since Piccolo Spoleto Festival
Paired with sound bath rhythms from Trublyss Healing Arts
