“This entire street will be filled with different things to do and look at. There’ll be a 48-foot graffiti wall, live music, and tons of artwork. I’m trying to get people to see North Charleston as an important place for art. The artists know this, because there’s no place they can show downtown. I’ve been promoting this area for years, and it finally seems something is happening.”

The question of space, and of which artists are fortunate to have it, fuels Hyman’s drive. His chief ambition, he says, is to provide locals and artistic newcomers with a fair opportunity to show their work.

“That’s all it’s about. Not money or fame, I work for the sake of art, and promoting this area.”
