Charleston Once Again Named A Top Arts Destination
For Immediate Release, May 2008
(Charleston, SC) - Charleston was chosen as the No. 6 Mid-Sized City Arts Destination by American Style Magazine. The recognition is based on readers’ surveys and is posted annually. This year, the winning cities were deemed National Treasures, and all of the country’s must-see art Meccas were highlighted in the June issue.
The Holy City benefited from its population increase this year, rising from No. 7 on last year’s Small Cities & Towns list to No. 6 on the 2008 Mid-Sized Cities list.
