Discover: Our Mission, Our Vision, Our Team

Discover what an arts education can do for our Lowcountry communities. We are brimming with talented creatives who want to share their dreams and aspire to impact their ecosystem positively. Our creatives intuit the value of the arts on our economic and social tapestry. At the very same time, our communities seek vitality and social investment. We hunger for an environment that is engaging and cultivates individuals who serve as the spark that renews our sense of what’s possible and generates momentum for innovation. The future of our students’ artistic careers is congruent with the vision of thriving communities. The CEW Collaborative builds these connections in the existing local network to create a space for future creatives to support each other’s productive endeavors and become an elite collective that drives economic development. We believe in providing a platform of value for cultivating our creatives. Selected participants will have the Collaborative’s support in:

• A safe, creative space and inclusive working environment.

• Crafting their creative narrative.

• Establishing a new and tailored learning experience that invests in critical thinking skills, visual communication, art theory, and art history.

• Obtaining portfolio preparation for higher ed, entrepreneurial training, business management, and networking skills.

• Exclusive access to working with CEO and Founder Charles Edward Williams and other professional artists to develop advanced technical skills and strategies to build their artistic careers.
