A former naval storehouse in North Charleston will soon come back to life as a platform for emerging artists, immersive experiences, and cultural events. Entertainment and event production company Big Hair Productions is launching a new arts and events venue at Navy Yard Charleston this fall.
Named Building 64, the approximately 38,000-square-foot space features a pitched-monitor roof, vaulted ceilings, and a clerestory that allows natural light to flood the interior space through high bay windows. The industrial architecture will become a distinctive backdrop for a wide range of rental events and productions, some of which will be designed and curated by the owner of Big Hair Productions and Billboard Reggae Chart-topping artist David “Big Hair” Brisacher.
Initial events include an immersive Halloween experience, Nightmare at the Navy, on Thursday, October 17, 2024, and the return of the Kulture Klash arts festival on Saturday, November 16, 2024. Nightmare at the Navy is an interactive Halloween experience that invites attendees to navigate a haunted warehouse and participate in a laser tag battle with aliens.
Kulture Klash is an annual festival that brings together a diverse mix of artists, performers, and audiences for a unique celebration of visual art, music, dance, and interactive installations. The event fosters creativity, diversity, and collaboration within the arts community in Charleston.
David “Big Hair” Brisacher is a founding member of Charleston-based reggae band The Dubplates. The band is known for its record Box Full Of Steel, which reached the number one spot on the Billboard Reggae Chart in 2017/2018. Over the past 20 years, Brisacher has founded and produced a wide range of events and has worked with notable celebrities and artists, including the Beastie Boys, Method Man, 2 Chainz, and The Roots.
Building 64 is located at 2301 Noisette Blvd.
