The College of Charleston School of the Arts is the most comprehensive presenter of quality arts events in the Charleston community – all within or near our unique, historic campus. In this calendar of our public events for spring 2017, you’ll find performances of music, dance and theatre; interactive discussions with music industry leaders presented by our Arts Management program; lectures hosted by our Department of Art and Architectural History and our program in Historic Preservation and Community Planning; and the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Arts’ exhibitions, film screenings, lectures and more. Many of our events are free to the public. Others offer season packages or memberships and/or provide discounts for students and senior citizens.

Our students, faculty and alumni have had numerous projects and accomplishments. (Keep up with our latest news and accolades posted on our social media accounts.) We certainly want to impress you with the talent and enrichment that we provide for our campus and the community. Be part of our vibrant School by supporting our students, programs and academic endeavors; information is provided on our website or by calling 843.953.6315.

There are only five months left of our ambitious 2016-17 season of events – I’ll see you in the audience!

Focusing primarily on artists of the Southeast re-gion, Piccolo Spoleto is the complement to the international scope of Charleston's Spoleto Festi-val USA (its parent festival), and its 500 events in 17 days transforms the city into an exhilarating cel-ebration of performing, literary and visual arts.

Piccolo Spoleto is produced and directed by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, which partners with the College of Charleston School of the Arts to produce robust theatre, dance, and mu-sic events (listed below) and also offers internship and other professional opportunities to students.
