· BedSmart Downtown, on Carteret Street in downtown Beaufort.
· The Patio Shoppe located on Hwy 278 in Bluffton

The Arts Council of Beaufort County has 10 questions for residents and visitors of Beaufort County, in an online survey about the new Get Your Art Out emerging artist initiative, which offers free workshops in the business of art.
