The exhibition was open all artists, media, and sizes. Numerous local, regional and national artists were invited to participate in this exhibition. Additionally, submissions were received from far and wide. Nicoll curated a similar exhibition during Piccolo Spoleto 2002 that was held at Salon 45, the residence of Cindi Gasparre and Steven Nicoll. With the same structure and criteria as the inaugural offering, Nicoll hopes to create a space where the viewer is being made a voyeur by the art. The intention of the show is to have a broad diversity of participation so that the expected and unexpected will be seen.

Curator Steven Nicoll was born in London and has lived in Charleston since 1986. He completed a carpentry apprenticeship, receiving a London Institute City and Guilds in Joinery and Shop Fitting. He went on to receive a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College and a Masters at University of Wales, Cardiff. He enjoys the restoration of fine houses and the decoration within them.
