From the Charleston Parks Conservancy:

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Parks Conservancy is once again highlighting parks with annual springtime Park Week. With daily events in the parks, Park Week encourages residents to try something new while celebrating all the ways Charlestonians love their parks – from kayaking and biking to enjoying the parks with pets and children.

DOWNTOWN (WCSC) - Jonathan Green has chosen to gift the City of Charleston the rights to use the images of his paintings, Beach Market and Contemplation for the creation of two outstanding murals to be placed in the City Market of Charleston. The murals will be placed on the walls of the newly renovated City Market just outside the Great Hall.

Green, a native of the Lowcountry of South Carolina is considered by many art critics and reviewers as one of the nation’s most outstanding African-American artists and highly recognized visual master for capturing Southern culture and traditions.  His high level of social interest and championship of the visual arts in educational, medical, cultural, and social institutions throughout Charleston for the past twenty-five years has been remarkable. He created a major mural for Sanders Clyde Elementary School when the school was rebuilt.

DOWNTOWN (WCSC) - More than 100 exhibitors and nonprofit organizations will showcase their green products and services this Sunday at the Charleston Green Fair at Marion Square.

The fair will run from noon to 7:30 p.m.  There will be a KidZone, art, music, and more.

A variety of local musicians and bands are set to perform, including veteran Lowcountry rock bands the Blue Dogs and Uncle Mingo, with support from Stained Glass Wall, Dream Merchants, the 3 Dudes, Nathan Calhoun, Introducing Fish Taco, and members of the Shrimp Records collective.
