The Creative Misfits Are Coming!

Creative Misfits 2023 is almost here!

While you wait for the Virtual Art Auction to open on Cyber Monday,

get to know the artists behind the work.

All of their pieces will be revealed when the Virtual Art Auction opens online this Monday, November 27th at 12 pm noon EST. And, don’t forget:

Artwork makes the best gifts!

Each year, Creative Misfits just keeps getting bigger and artsier. This year boasts over 50 pieces that you can bid to win. Always remember, your bids support the inclusive arts and the ongoing arts programming for adults with disabilities who create together at the HEART Studio! It’s an all around WIN for everyone!

Close down the auction by bringing down the house! Join us for an MTV music video-worthy rock concert performed by the HEARTists live at one of Charleston’s best music venues - the Charleston Pour House. View the Art Auction items in-person and the newest exhibition from the HEARTists!


Creative Misfits is made possible by the care and support of our Sponsors!

HEART's Big Move!

We’re movin’ out!

The last five years, we’ve built our home at the Rutledge Ave. Studio, made tons of great memories, many messes. And of course, so, so much ART!

But, it’s time for us to close the door on this chapter of HEART’s journey. Our last program day inside these walls will be next Thursday, September 28th. By then, the studio should just be a mostly empty room that we’ll fill with a celebratory farewell dance party!

So, where are we going?

Great question, we would love to tell you!

For now, we’re borrowing classrooms in the Goose Creek Community Center. We’re so grateful for our friends in the Goose Creek Therapeutic Rec. Dept. for giving us a place to land while we’re between Studios.

After that, we’re not sure yet. We’ve got several possibilities that are moving forward. No matter what, we’re very excited about the opportunities this will bring for our HEARTists and for our community.

We have a lot of big plans in the works. So, please stay tuned! We can’t wait to tell you all about it.

How Can You Help?

Another great question. Man, you’re great at this!

Volunteer

We’re calling “All Hands On Deck!” for packing and moving assistance. If you want to lend a hand and pack a few boxes for us, you can sign up here.

Boxes, Boxes, Boxes

You can help us by bringing sturdy boxes or plastic tote bins to store all of our stuff. It all has to go somewhere, but it can’t get there without a container. Try asking your local liquor store, grocery store, or big box chain for their leftover boxes!

Donate

Not much of a lifter or mover? No sweat! You can still help us in major ways by helping cover our moving costs. We’ve got PODs units, off-site storage, temporary rent, build out costs, new supply and furniture needs to look forward to. You’ll be a big part of taking care of us by giving what you can!

Shop our Studio Sale!

All that stuff that cannot go with us could go home with you! We’ve got lamps, dressers, side tables, sundries. The cool thing about an art studio is that it gets a bunch of random cool stuff. And it could be yours! Come by Saturday and see what you like.
