Wragg Square, Through June 1st

Produced and curated by Jim Martin, Director of Horticulture and Landscapes, Magnolia Plantation & Gardens

Step into a world where art and nature intertwine, where history whispers through the petals, and where indigo—a color as deep as the Lowcountry’s past—blooms once more. Indigo in Bloom is a breathtaking fusion of horticulture, history, and artistry, set against the timeless beauty of one of Charleston’s most storied landscapes.

Experience its legacy reimagined through stunning art installations by renowned artists Hitomi Gilliam and Arianne King Comer, whose work pays homage to the rich botanical and cultural heritage of the Lowcountry.

Cannon Street Arts Center, Through June 7th

Closing Reception: June 7th at 4:00pm

In Almost Visible, Arun Drummond explores the quiet disappearance of cultural identity through two powerful series: Natural and Erasure.

In the Natural Series, figures are painted in the same tone as the unbleached linen background, blending into the canvas until they nearly vanish. This visual quietness speaks to how traditions fade when they are no longer actively seen, spoken, or passed down. The Erasure Series takes a different approach by removing what was once central to Drummond’s work, his signature sweetgrass baskets. Their absence becomes the message. What is missing forces us to notice what has already slipped away. Together, these works ask us to reflect on the cost of invisibility, the weight of memory, and what is at risk of being permanently lost if we do not choose to remember.

Sunday, May 25 and Sunday, June 1, 11am to 5pm
