The Art Institute of Charleston

Attended an animation workshop at AI of CHS. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor. Great content. Classrooms equipped with adequate technology. Clean restrooms. Professional staff, even the ones who just greeted visitors at the door and gave credentials.
Good location right at Market and East Bay.

In addition to an art and design school, there is also a culinary art school at this institute. Here the students learn to become chefs and to manage a restaurant. As an integral part of their training, they prepare and serve three course gourmet meals in a white tablecloth professional restaurant setting. These meals are open to the public — currently on Wed and Thur for lunch at $ 12 per person (includes tax). This is great training for the students under expert professional guidance and an unforgettable culinary experience for anyone (like my wife and me) who stumbles upon this bargain. The students train with intense attention to every detail, including impeccable service and inventive, delicious dishes (eg, my fancy bread pudding dessert). There are three choices for each course. I was very impressed and will savor this gourmet experience for a long time. Hope you get a chance to go– you won’t regret it!

Attended the Fashion 360 Conference. Man did I have a great time. They had great speakers who gave wonderful advice about branding yourself and event. How to use social media and make it work for you. I was very impressed with AI showing the many sides of the fashion industry in Charleston. I came to find out that there is a very unique fashion scene in Charleston. All and all a great day of knowledge and networking.
