CHARLESTON, SC, September 26, 2011 – Custom couture masks created by local artists, one of kind red dresses designed by local fashion stars and the hottest new cocktail club in town!

Participating artists include Lese Corrigan, Jeff Kopish, Dee Schenck Rhodes, Mary Hoffman, Lynne Hamontree, Heather Gilliett, Everett White, Leigh Magar and Tina Christopholis. Bidding start at $75. Interested bidders can preview the masks on Facebook.
