Update Your Preferences
With KICA
For 2019, KICA went paperless with
annual assessment statements and annual
election voting materials. All members were
emailed these two important community
communications, unless they contacted
KICA to request the statement or ballot to
be mailed.
ARTS IN
APRIL
Now is a great time to update your preference for
2020. Going forward, if you would prefer to receive
you assessment statement or ballot by mail, contact
[email protected]. You do not need to take any
action if you still prefer to receive these by email. We
do encourage you to consider email, which saves the
membership considerable printing and mailing costs.
Arts, etc. Presents the Kiawah
Island Art and House Tour
Have you ever wanted a peek inside your neighbor’s
lovely home? Arts, etc.’s 19th annual Kiawah Island Art
and House tour takes place on Friday, April 5 from 1-5
p.m. and offers visitors a rare glimpse into the art and
architecture of five spectacular homes. Arts, etc. member Jinnie Chapel pinpointed the overall
goal of the program, saying “If we can engage even a few
kids a year and make them either want to participate in
or support the arts at some point in their lives, we have
succeeded.”
This year’s tour features five homes in different areas of
the island. Each home reflects the homeowners’ tastes
and lifestyle— for example, one home is large with lots
of kid-friendly spaces, while another was built around the
kitchen because the owner is a culinary school graduate. Tickets ($55) can be purchased online
brownpapertickets.
com (use the keyword
“Kiawah”) or at
the Kiawah Island
Real Estate office at
Freshfields Village.
In addition, tickets
will be available at
Freshfields village the
day of the tour.
Beyond the tour experience, the program is a fundraiser
for Arts, etc.’s mission. Proceeds benefit the youth
of Johns and Wadmalaw islands through visual and
performing arts. This year’s program supports children
