The new museum opening in Goose Creek featuring historic exhibits is the “Creek Collective,” an art gallery and cultural destination that officially opened its doors in late May 2025. Located at 222 St. James Avenue, the Creek Collective honorably preserves the architectural feel of the previous wedding and prayer chapel that stood on the site for over 30 years while offering a modern, accessible space for community use. The museum features a public viewing area where local artists can showcase their work and hosts community art events, workshops, and creative programs such as wheatgrass basket weaving. It aims to be a hub for local artistic expression and engagement, supported by approximately $865,000 in city hospitality funds.
The Creek Collective is designed to be a cornerstone of artistic and cultural life in Goose Creek, fostering local creativity and community pride. By 2026, it is expected to offer rentable spaces to accommodate various events, further enriching the cultural fabric of the city. This museum complements other creative initiatives in Goose Creek, such as the mobile art gallery displayed on sanitation trucks showcasing Lowcountry artists, and ongoing public art projects like murals and graffiti park events that have received enthusiastic community support.
