The board of ARTworks, the arts council of Beaufort Royal, and the Sea Islands, invites the community to “show your love,” and establish a new Guinness World Book Record.
“We want to establish a record this February so we can break it next year! We challenge all community arts advocates, young and old, to be a part of this. The key is the number of individuals who do the donating,” explained Claudette Humphrey, board president. “February is the love month, the perfect time for a show of support for the arts in our community. We hope to have 100% participation of donations big and small, and set a new record!”
ARTworks’ plans for 2013 are record-worthy too: affordable studio space for artists, the BIG Story Fest in April, new story troupes for students and community, a continuation of the popular (and free) Street Music on Paris Avenue series, a gallery show of contemporary quilts in April and May, and much artistically more.
“Every individual who donates is motivating us to make these programs better and more accessible. Let’s show the world why Beaufort is nominated over and over again as a best art town in the country,” said board member Deanna Bowdish. Also on the board are Stacie van Vulpen, Jack Russell, Helen Roper Dovell, Veronica Miller, Joanne Matibag, Mary Mack, Cordes Marshall, and Jean Norton-Torjussen.
