The Navy Yard Charleston Announces 4 Art-Focused Events this Fall 2025

The Livity Foundation Celebrates 10^th Anniversary of Kulture Klash on Saturday, November 22

Navy Yard Charleston plays host to five art-focused events throughout the fall

NORTH CHARLESTON, SC – From taking over alleyways at the historic Charleston Naval Base to becoming a full-blown festival recognized as one of the region’s most unique and vibrant gatherings, Kulture Klash returns to Building 64 at Navy Yard Charleston next month. Themed “Time,” this year marks the 10^th anniversary of the eclectic event which will showcase 100 visual artists, including Charleston native and nationally acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, and 20 live performers, with Z-Trip & Friends featuring Darryl McDaniels of Run-D.M.C. headlining.

“The evolution of Kulture Klash has been extraordinary. This milestone anniversary is not only a celebration of art but also of the incredible community that keeps the festival’s spirit alive,” said Dave “Big Hair” Brisacher, founder of Big Hair Productions and operator of Building 64. “North Charleston is evolving into a hub for cultural arts, with Navy Yard Charleston and Navy Yard Industrial Campus at the heart of it all. Kulture Klash is one of many great events happening in the area this fall, and we look forward to bringing everyone together over art again soon.”

First held in 2007, Kulture Klash took a hiatus from 2015 to 2023 and was revived last year after the owners of Navy Yard Charleston formed a partnership with Brisacher to operate Building 64 as part of its redevelopment plans. Presented by local nonprofit The Livity Foundation – an organization that inspires conscious living by elevating the arts, athletics, wellness, and care for the planet through impactful programs and charitable giving – Kulture Klash serves as a fundraiser showcasing a fusion of art, music, dance, and interactive installations from both emerging and established artists.

Building 64 will be activated from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 22, for Kulture Klash. In addition to the main musical act, multiple stages with immersive sound, lights, projections, and lasers will welcome other artists such as J-Live, NotLo, Florida Man, MoonKat Daddi, and the 33s, while local creatives like Julie Deckman, Nathan Durfee, Kristy Bishop, and Adolfo Alvarado will showcase their works throughout the 40,000-square-foot venue. Several Charleston-area arts nonprofits as well as local high schools will also participate. Guests can enjoy food trucks and a full-service bar during the event. 

Kulture Klash is sponsored by Navy Yard Charleston, Big Hair Productions, Carolina Rides, Prizm Productions, Tito’s Vodka, Bud Light, Wit’s End, Holy City Tattooing Collective, Michelob Ultra, and Beatbox. Advance general admission tickets are on sale now for $25, while VIP tickets are available for $100. Proceeds will benefit The Livity Foundation, and guests of all ages are welcome.

Beyond Kulture Klash, Navy Yard Charleston will play host to a dynamic slate of arts-driven programming throughout the fall, including:

• In Loving Memory, October 26 through November 2, Nidum Studios – Community group art show inspired by the sacred tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and curated by Steph Frx of Sus Art Club. Complimentary to attend. 

• Recommissioned, November 1 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., Storehouse Eight – Group multimedia exhibition curated by Lindsay Collins, creator of podcast production company LMC Soundsystem and Navy Yard Charleston Maker Studio tenant, showcasing the works of Paul Cristina, Jeremy Croft, Hirona Matsuda, Nathan McClements, and Fletcher Williams III. Complimentary to attend.
