We enjoy healthy support from the College of Charleston, and greatly needed financial assistance from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. Recently, we received a major program support grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, along with project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Asian Cultural Council, Harpo Foundation, Joanna Foundation, Coastal Community Foundation, The Henry and Sylvia Yaschik Foundation and the National Lunar Science Institute. Our programming has been exceptionally well received, and we have developed many new strategic partnerships.

While we are delighted by the continued support that we have received from various foundations and grants, we cannot possibly sustain our dynamic programming without the encouragement and support of our Members and Community Partners-those who keep the mighty Halsey afloat.

Your participation in this program is vital to the stability and growth of the Halsey Institute. We hope you will join us by becoming a Halsey Community Partner. After all, our Members and Community Partners are the lifeblood of our daily operations.

Rick Rhodes has a passion for what he does. Photography can always get you into places most people could never dream of going. Just bring your camera and it’s a free pass to the world. Whether soaring at 1500 feet above Charleston’s Harbour or riding to the very top of the newly spectacular span of the Arthur Ravenel Bridge, or having both his feet firmly planted on the ground in his native historic Charleston, this is one businessman that never has a dull moment in his daily career. Rick became an instant photographer at a young age when his teacher handed him a camera on the playground, to the high school yearbook where the fascination of developing images in the darkroom took hold, to College for a much more serious approach towards a profession. Rick earned degrees from the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach, Florida and Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. From there the desire for photography only grew stronger with more experience and more time. Now, fifteen years later, thousands of images, and a lifetime full of more memories than could satisfy any artists’ palette, the shutter keeps clicking away. With a new building and a high end in-house digital lab, Rick Rhodes Photography and Imaging, LLC is able to say the boundaries are limitless. With a full staff of highly trained professionals in their industry you are bound to get more than you bargained for.

Worthwhile opened in December, 1993 in Charleston, SC, bringing a bit of the unknown to what was then a fairly conservative shopping environment. The mix of merchandise  found in a department store translated to a boutique setting  was an idea just catching on at the time…lifestyle… Worthwhile went one step further to include women’s and children’s clothing, creating a truly unique shopping environment. Our vision is to create a shopping experience that is one of sensory and aesthetic delight.

Our product mix is always varied…a new material in candle holders, a young clothing designer’s first season, a book about the bonds between sisters, loaves of soap sold by the slice, a foldable watering can, handbags made from seat belts…….we’re always on the lookout for the new and unusual, while we sometimes embrace the tried and true; We like translucent layers over opaque ones, a hard edge next to a soft fabric.
