Artist Spotlight

2nd Sunday on King Street and The KKBE Lowcountry Nosh Today!

Artist Spotlight, Dinner, Experiences, FoodSusan Lucas

So many stores, galleries and restaurants, so much to eat, drink see and do . It’s the most fun you can have in Charleston every single month. Park. Walk to Liberty Street (you know, it’s where the Apple Store is). Look for the 2nd Sunday tent and introduce yourself to @fishprintgirl Liz Roberts, who will introduce you to Gyotaku, the ancient method of printing fish. She inks one side of a real, locally caught fish then presses paper onto the fish to transfer the ink to create an exact mirrored image. Beautiful. And there’s free 2nd Sunday stuff. Pick up a post-it everybody loves post-its!

Then, on to Hasell Street for The Lowcountry Nosh, the Jewish food and heritage festival held annually as part of 2nd Sunday by KKBE. Takes up the whole block on Hasell Street. So many delicacies, so little time. And pickles! KKBE is the second oldest synagogue in the United States and the oldest in continuous use. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980.

Nation’s artistry shines at Piccolo Spoleto

Tate Nation, that is! “If anyone knows a thing or two about making art in Charleston, it’s Nation: He’s got a gallery space at 257 King St. and participates in Second Sundays on King Street every month. He ran an art gallery in Shem Creek for nine years, has made T-shirts for the Cooper River Bridge Run and served as the illustrator-in-residence at the Gibbes Museum.” Read here.
