“An Evening of the Arts” Presented by Island School Council for the Arts

The Island School Council for the Arts (ISCA) celebrates its 32nd annual “An Evening of the Arts,” and will be held Friday, September 12 at the elegant Wexford Plantation Clubhouse from 6:30 – 10:00pm. The island’s most original fundraiser, with live juried art auction, delicious food with vignette musical and dance performances featuring the talents of ISCA’s Rising Stars competitors.

Spectacular original pieces of artwork donated by the lowcountry’s most acclaimed professional artists will be offered in the live and silent auction. Wielding the gavel of the art auction will be Celebrity Auctioneer Jason Brooks from the hit Discovery Channel TV show, Auction Kings, and auctioneer for Rachel Ray’s charity events as well. Accompanying him will be Gary Wise, a renowned ring man who will work the auction with Brooks. The Silent Auction includes spectacular offerings such as destination arts packages, unique experiences, noted artwork and jewelry. Guests of “An Evening of the Arts” will enjoy signature cocktails, cash bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts and coffee.

Tickets are $125 per person. The proceeds of this event represent the majority of the funds, which support our four programs: ISCA Artist-in-Education Residency Program, ISCA Teacher Grants Program, Promising Picassos Student Art Exhibitions, ISCA Student Scholarships and new initiatives like ISCA’s Rising Stars Talent Competition.

Since 1971, the Island School Council for the Arts has funded over 2 million dollars in these programs supporting the visual, performing, and literary arts, supporting academic achievement and scholarship through arts education in all area schools in southern Beaufort County, both public and private.
