The Charleston Antiques
Symposium is an annual event dedicated to providing the College
of Charleston’s School of the Arts with financial support
for its educational and administrative programs while at the same
time strengthening the School’s ties with members of the community,
the region, and the nation. Of equal importance, and linking the
symposium to the College's focus on students, it serves as both
a living laboratory for students in the Arts Management Program
and one of the educational offerings within the School.
The Charleston Antiques Symposium presents a variety
of noted speakers who address topics related to the connoisseurship
and interpretation of the decorative arts of the past. The Charleston
Antiques Symposium schedule features lecture presentations and small-scale
focused-study sessions in and outside the classroom as well as tours
of significant collections and structures. |
