Charleston, SC – The Charleston Art & Antiques Forum will be held Wednesday, March 12 through Sunday, March 16, 2008 and will benefit the education programs at the Gibbes Museum of Art. Opening Charleston’s acclaimed Antiques Week, the 2008 Forum will examine Southern fine and decorative arts in a program entitled Terra Incognita: New Discoveries and Influences on the South. National experts will illuminate paintings, furniture, textiles, ceramics and other objects made in the South, while noting the effect of other traditions on the region. Once viewed as made in an “unknown land,†Southern works are now highly sought in the marketplace.
