Over thirty Lowcountry artists and writers are participating in A Literary-Visual Art Show with Issues, which will be at ARTworks (new home of the Arts Council of Beaufort County in Beaufort Town Center) through November 5th. The purpose of the show is to explore issues during a pivotal presidential campaign season.
