When Erin Nathanson graduated from the College of Charleston in 2007, her bachelor’s degree in arts

management focused heavily on the nonprof-it sector, public administration and perform-ing arts.

What the degree didn’t prepare her for, though, was her future as a business owner, an element that leaders in the program now realize is missing.

Shortly after college, Nathanson landed a job planning and curating exhibitions for Charleston’s City Gallery at Waterfront Park. But over time, she realized her true passion was for visual arts — specifically contempo-

rary, emerging art from Southern artists — and the need to curate it independently.

“Charleston should have a space that sup-ports it, and not just in a nonprofit, muse-um atmosphere, but in a commercial space,” Nathanson said. “It’s important for artists to see that they can have a career as an artist, and

When Volvo Cars agreed to invest $600 million to build an automotive campus and create

4,000 jobs in Berkeley County, the state rolled out the red carpet, promising mil-lions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure, office space and other perks.

Such state-funded incentives are typi-cal for manufacturers, and they appear to work. Boeing 787 Dreamliners are built in North Charleston, and by the end of the decade, Volvo’s new S60 sedans and Mercedes-Benz’ Sprinter vans will both be built from start to finish in the Lowcoun-try.

Those companies boost the region’s knowledge economy, and the jobs they

create buoy the economy.But when tech companies open offices

and create jobs in South Carolina, or when a startup founder relocates from San Francis-co to Charleston, a massive incentives pack-age is not typically at the ready.

“Our system is sort of loaded for

�e Riley Park Club

Mercantile and Mash partners with the Riley Park Club for ultimate event experience

well as a chef-a�ended action station each night. e catering kitchen, designed with input from the chef and sta�, is onsite.

When there’s no game on the schedule, the club is available to rent for weddings, rehearsal dinners, luncheons and business conferences. Rental rates include tables, chairs and serviceware. e club has audiovisual equipment and eight TV screens and – unusual for downtown Charleston – plenty of free onsite parking.

“It’s an elegant space,” says Bailey Linderman, events manager at the Riley Park Club. “It has chandeliers and reclaimed wood on the �oors.” A dance �oor and podium can be added as needed.

e club is designed for medium-sized events, with seating capacity of 200.

It’s a unique venue. e scoreboard can be used for non-game day events, and a group could have cocktails on the �eld and dinner in the club. “Charleston has a lot of unique venues, but this one is a home run,” Ervin says.

For those who want to combine excellence in cuisine with the ballpark location, Mercantile and Mash has teamed up with

the Riley Park Club to provide an incomparable experience.

e new Riley Park Club, just completed at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Ballpark, has contracted with Mercantile and Mash as the exclusive caterer for ball games and special events. ose who want to upgrade the game day experience can buy a ticket for the club, which includes all you can eat at a chef-prepared bu�et as well as a tailgate table with gourmet burgers and hot dogs. Also included are beer and wine.

e club, with two walls of glass, has views of the ballpark on one side and the Ashley River marsh on another. e sunset view is gorgeous. And if you care to go outside, special club-level seating is adjacent.

“Our executive chef, Tim Morton, is in charge of the menu,” says Graham Ervin, director of sales

for Mercantile and Mash. “We have a commitment to working with local farmers and artisan purveyors. Everything is fresh.” Mercantile and Mash is part of e Indigo Road Restaurant Group, and the Riley Park Club menu includes favorites from its other restaurants such as O-Ku and Oak Steakhouse, as
