Late Friday Nights on Broad Street – Charleston, S.C.
Broad Street is home to the largest number of unique galleries in Charleston, featuring one-of-a-kind artwork, pottery and sculpture from all over the world. “We’re proud of our unique galleries and shops”, said Mary Phelps of Coco Vivo. “Late Night Fridays on Gallery Row provides us with an opportunity to meet customers and clients who may be on their way to dinner or who have just checked in to their hotels and would like to do some shopping after normal business hours. We can offer guests a glass of fine wine and a little leisurely view of what each gallery features. It also gives us a chance to see some of our local clientele who are working during our regular business hours and can’t get down to Broad Street to see us.”
After last year’s successful run from mid-November through the first week of January, the decision was made to begin Late Night Fridays beginning in October. Broad Street’s participating shops and galleries will be open and serving wine and other refreshments from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. each and every Friday from October 5th until January 4th. Each participating gallery will be featuring one of the fine wines available at Jake’s on Broad, and that wine will change weekly. For more information, you can contact us at 800-436-1272.
Into Great Silence – Jacksonville, Florida
Nestled deep in the postcard-perfect French Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is considered one of the world’s most ascetic monasteries. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gröning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary about them. They said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Gröning, sans crew or artificial lighting, lived in the monks’ quarters for six months—filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals and rare outdoor excursions. This transcendent, closely observed film seeks to embody a monastery, rather than simply depict one—it has no score, no voice over and no archival footage. What remains is stunningly elemental: time, space and light. One of the most mesmerizing and poetic chronicles of spirituality ever created, INTO GREAT SILENCE dissolves the border between screen and audience with a total immersion into the hush of monastic life. More meditation than documentary, it’s a rare, transformative theatrical experience for all.
