Task

Amid a dense historic district, this center for the arts is “the artistic heartbeat of Charleston.” A venue for Spoleto Festival, it is the most publicly visited building on campus, hosting fine and performing arts programs for students and visitors alike to celebrate and partake in artistic disciplines. The renovation aims to create a resilient urban response to showcasing the arts, signaling to the community the creativity within, moderating between history and progress, and enhancing connections to the historic campus. The interior approach transforms dim, uninviting spaces to foster collaboration across curricula, breathing new life into an integral community resource.
