Gather. Listen. Connect. Celebrate.

Whether a seasoned explorer, a child of the wild or simply one who finds comfort in the green and blue spaces that shape our home, each of us is pulled to the songs and stories of this extraordinary planet. As we further explore the blue marble that we call home, join us and special guest Cristina Mittermeier at the South Carolina Aquarium Gala: Aperture, benefitting our work in conservation and education. This experience will widen your aperture, tilt your lens and offer a new perspective that may leave you forever changed.

This exclusive and elegant evening with the Aquarium’s closest advocates will celebrate curiosity, discovery and connection through the powerful words and work of Cristina Mittermeier, world-renowned photographer and conservationist.
