Our Space
Our choir rehearsals and camps are held at the James Island Arts & Cultural Center! This beautiful facility is located at 1248 Camp Road, Charleston, SC 29412, near the intersection of Camp Rd. and Dills Bluff Rd. The new facility was recently renovated from a former library building into a new space, specifically designed to showcase local artists and James Island's rich history. They offer many artistic, cultural and programming opportunities! They opened their doors in August 2021. At the helm of the JIACC is Mrs. Caroline Self, Director of Development. We encourage you to visit this fabulous facility, and explore their exhibits and other community programs and events.
