"With help from architectural designer Hunter Kennedy, Charleston Artist Collective founder Allison Williamson and her husband, Bright, transformed a dark and dated brick ranch house in Mount Pleasant into a cheerful space where art and family life happily coexist."
"It’s Allison Williamson’s business to make art accessible: since launching Charleston Artist Collective in 2009, she has used the pioneering web-based gallery to sell thousands of works by area artists. With prices starting at $75, the site puts original artwork within reach for a whole new audience—and that audience continues to balloon, thanks to partnerships with national brands like Serena & Lily and One Kings Lane, plus the launch of sister sites in Nashville, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. Of the idea that sparked the biz almost a decade ago, she says: “I felt if I could deliver art to people’s desktops, I could make buying art less intimidating.”
