When the Gibbes Museum opened in 1905, the nation celebrated what Charleston has always understood: the power of art – to inspire our imagination, heal our hurt, and nourish our souls.

On December 12th, nearly 400 people visited the Gibbes for some holiday cheer during our free Community Day.  Sponsored by the Jr. League of Charleston, this day of family fun included activities for children, face painting, and musical performances by Ashley Hall and Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church.

Be sure to mark your calendar for our next Community Day on February 20, 2010.

Face painting is always a hit!
