Fashions of Art

Art

Tall, dark and handsome, Charles Desaussure exhibits FASHIONS OF ART at the House of Ahhs, 1109 Boundary St., uptown Beaufort. The show will open December 8th at 1:00 P.M. and continue through December 29th.

Some of the most exciting art news in years, Charles Desaussure, is back in the lowcountry. Born in Charleston, a decedent of Senegalese slaves once owned by the French Huguenot DeSaussure family, Charles will never forget his roots. And like the proverbial son he returns time and again to his heritage as the inspiration for his work.
