Situated on the picturesque piazza of the restored 1800s-era building overlooking the hotel’s lush gardens, The Caviar Bar at Zero George offers an approachable, à-la-carte complement to the heralded cuisine of Zero Restaurant + Bar. The custom-built mahogany bar with antique brass accents blends seamlessly into the decor of Zero George’s Anson building. The carefully crafted menu pays homage to chef Vinson’s previous role as chef de cuisine at Caviar Russe in New York City and reinforces Zero’s reputation for caviar service in the Southeast and beyond.

Plus, two restaurant spaces: a cozy oyster & cocktail den, and a full-service destination restaurant with a vibrant outdoor cobblestone courtyard. The Pinch will continue the brand’s mission of blending high-end, boutique hotel experiences with modern conveniences & amenities, along with creating thoughtful and distinct culinary concepts by bringing a new level of service to Charleston’s hospitality scene.

DIEDRICK BRACKENS: ARK OF BULRUSHES
Mint Museum Randolph July 16 – December 11, 2022
Diedrick Brackens: ark of bulrushes presents a new series of large-scale weavings and woven sculptures by L.A.-based artist Diedrick Brackens.. Having developed a process of combining the tactility of yarn with the ethos of storytelling, the works in the exhibition tell timeless narratives about Americana, emancipation, and remediation through pattern, body, and the power of craft. Brackens work also incorporates traditions important to the Southern region — woven baskets that relate to Cherokee nation and the Gullah people, and a particular exploration of quilts in the African American historical narrative as connected with 19th-century Freedom Quilts. The installation also includes works from The Mint Museum’s permanent collection drawing heavily from its historic quilt collection and the extensive collection of Native American basketry, and an installation about North Carolina weavers that elaborates on these important craft traditions and methods. www.mintmuseum.org

Nantucket by Design
An award-winning line-up of interior designers, tastemakers, and artisans, including Alex Papachristidis, Tara Guerard, Keith Robinson, Christopher Spitzmiller, and Ashley Whittaker, will partake in the Nantucket Historical Association’s summer fundraiser, Nantucket by Design, which is scheduled for August 3-6.
In its seventh year, Nantucket by Design celebrates the island’s unique influence on American design, delivering an exclusive experience and raising money for the NHA to continue its commitment to steward and preserve the heritage of Nantucket. This year’s events will offer curated keynote and panel discussions, exclusive cocktail parties, an online silent auction, and collaborative design work of New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) and Kean University – Michael Graves College students. Participants will also enjoy the continued partnership with The Nantucket Summer Antiques Show for a Preview Party. Exciting new additions to the line-up include a Fashion Show and master class breakout sessions, offered in intimate settings, covering floral design, entertaining, and decorative arts.
“For the past two years, as we’ve all been tethered to our homes, our appreciation of where and how we live has grown exponentially. This year, we celebrate not only how our homes offer us comfort and security but allow us to express our personal style and passions with others through our decor, gardens, and entertaining,” says Stacey Bewkes and Olivia Charney Nantucket by Design 2022 chairs.
