Schedule for Eastside Day: Celebrating Philip Simmons


Park Celebration (10:00-1:00)

10:00:  Park Celebration begins. You can come by to meet with venders, learn about Phillip Simmons, and Eastside History. You can view a contest between tables created by student clubs that celebrate the life and work of Philip Simmons. You can also meet with representatives from the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture and the Lowcountry Digital
History Initiative. The Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston collects, preserves, and promotes the unique history and culture
of the African diaspora, with emphasis on Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry. The Lowcountry Digital History Initiative hosted by the College of Charleston Libraries publishes digital public history projects that highlight underrepresented race, class, gender, and labor histories within the Lowcountry region and historically interconnected Atlantic World.


11:30: Food arrives. The Culinary Institute of Charleston, in conjunction with Palmer student clubs, are providing hot dogs, apples, bananas, and bottled water, so come by the tent under the flag pole and pick some up!

11:30:  Philip Simmons Tours Begin. Philip Simmons’ house, located in walking distance from Palmer Campus at 30 ½ Blake Street, is now the Philip Simmons Museum House with a gift shop and operating workshop, where the art of his craft is being continued by his nephew Carlton Simmons and cousin Joseph Pringle. Following a celebration in the park, interested participants will have the opportunity to tour the Museum House. The tours will leave from campus at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. 

12:00:  Open Mic Begins. Dr. Hudock’s Creative Writing class will be leading an open mic in which they will share works they have written that were inspired by Philip Simmons. They visited Philip Simmons sites, watched a documentary, and learned about him to see how an artist makes their own path as inspirations for their own. Now they have something to say. Come listen or bring your own work or songs to share. We will also have karaoke! Also, we will be announcing the winners of the table contest during the open mic. $1000 for the best club presentation!

Reception (5:30-6:30)


Students and members of the community are also invited to visit the Library Commons Gallery for a reception on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. to showcase the new exhibit, “A Legacy Forged: The Works of Philip Simmons,” by Trident Tech graduate Jeffery Bowens.

Jeffrey Bowens is a local Charlestonian. After graduating from Baptist High School, in Hollywood SC, he entered the United States Airforce and served his country honorably with 21.
