Renewing an old space such as the one at our local school is a wonderful project. This actually belongs to an elementary school. The space was damaged by Hurricane Hugo in the late 80's and never repaired by the school district. Recently a local arts organization Spoleto has leased the building from the local school district as a place to house its performances.
The event attracts people to Charleston from across the world. This image was taken for the organization as one of many in the documentation of the renovation.
The doors here are open only to an empty audience as the facility has not really been able to be utilized for years. In fact the children have not been able to enter it in almost a decade.
I love the color repetation of the doors and the erie feel that they portray into the emptiness. I can imagine the kids throughout the ages rushing in to see performances.
The organization is accepting donations to the project. They can be reached at www.spoletousa.org
