The Civic Action Exhibition is a showcase of local grassroots organizations and the work they are doing to improve Charleston. For the exhibition the Charleston Civic Design Center gathered a variety of different organizations to demonstrate how the work of each of the organizations ...

contributes to a larger action that is changing our city for the better.

The exhibition’s opening will be the evening of June 25th 2009 from 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm, with verbal presentations starting at 6:30 pm. Eleven different organizations developed a showcase piece and will present a short five minute presentation around the following question: “What is the most promising opportunity to improve our community, and what action will your organization take to make a difference”
The graphic presentation consists of individual boards designed by each of the eleven different organizations. The boards offer an opportunity for each organization to display who they are, and what work they are doing in Charleston.
