Original Musical:

We're adding to our catalog of original productions while exploring a new-to-us genre this year. We're keeping it light and funny, but this time we're adding a new flavor of intrigue. And, as always, a heavy pour of music. We didn't think the team at the CMH could top themselves in their skill, dedication, and support - but they've gone and done it. We're ecstatic to be partnering with the Charleston Music Hall as one of their quarterly nonprofits benefiting from their venue to promote our mission
Trailblazing:
Can't put the genie back in this lamp With the addition of our newest staff member, Ashley Dodds, as Community Engagement Coordinator, we've been unleashed on the world, and we're not turning back now. She is tasked with keeping us busy in the community and exploring new territories. Rock climbing, dance workshops, nature trails, exercise, and more is in store for HEART this year.
A Bigger HEART:
We look forward to welcoming a handful of new HEARTists this year, as we're able to return to full capacity. Better still, we continue our search for a new home for our Studio One that would allow us to expand our capacity and reach even further
This year, we'll also bring our mission to more northern cities through partnerships with the Therapeutic Recreation programs at the City of Goose Creek. This way, folks who aren't a part of our permanent membership can have a taste of the arts through HEART.
Disability Pride Takes Over the Lowcountry:
It started Downtown in year 1. Then we tackled North Charleston. Now, we think, why stop there? Disability Pride in 2023 can't be contained to one place - or one day of celebrations. Events will encompass more than a week and stretch throughout the Lowcountry. We're proud to help organize the Disability Pride celebration each year with our friends in the community, including Camp Rise Above and Beyond Basic 2023 partners will also include the tremendous efforts of Public Works Art Center, as well as Summerville DREAM Stay loud and PROUD, y'all!
Disability Art Gallery Exhibition:
HEART has been invited to exhibit at one of the hippest, most inclusive galleries aroundPublic Works Art Center. Taking over the East Gallery and coinciding with Disability Pride celebrations and Third Thursday, in Summerville this July.
