The Charleston Gaillard Center is proud to present the Carolinas Together Hurricane Relief Concert on Sunday, November 3. This special event will showcase some of the South’s most celebrated artists, including Shovels & Rope, Ranky Tanky, Charlton Singleton & Friends, Quiana Parler, Elise Testone, Asiah Mae, Marcus Amaker, and more to be announced. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the North Carolina Arts Foundation’s NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund, providing critical financial support to artists and arts organizations in Western North Carolina, starting with basic necessities and eventually helping to rebuild the region’s arts community.
To further generate support at this event, representatives from other Charleston institutions—including Charleston Stage, The Citadel, Palmetto City Ballet, and College of Charleston, among others—will be present, offering additional opportunities to support their institution’s fundraising efforts. Their participation reinforces the unified commitment of Charleston’s arts community to maximize the impact of this relief initiative.
As a city deeply familiar with the impact of hurricanes and weather-related disasters, Charleston understands the importance of coming together to support those in need. Lowcountry Arts for WNC was formed as a collaborative effort by Charleston-area arts organizations to harness the city’s diverse artistic platforms and raise funds for hurricane relief in Western North Carolina. Through initiatives like the Carolinas Together Hurricane Relief Concert, the collective taps into the strength of Charleston’s vibrant arts community to maximize support for recovery efforts.
“This concert reflects our community’s deep understanding of the devastation hurricanes can cause, and we are honored to partner with these incredible artists and Lowcountry Arts for WNC to make a meaningful difference for our neighbors,” said Lissa Frenkel, President & CEO of the Charleston Gaillard Center. “We are proud to be facilitating these efforts alongside other institutions in Charleston to make the greatest possible impact.”
Charlton Singleton, who is supporting the Gaillard Center’s artistic team in programming this benefit concert, added, “The artists involved in this concert have all performed in and around the impacted areas countless times, and the residents of these Western North Carolina communities have supported our careers for years. It was an easy decision for us to lend our talents in support during their time of need.”
