Open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., the gallery is a popular place to discover new finds or add to a collection. The works displayed are a feast for the senses and depict a wide variety of subjects all created by Lowcountry locals. As the gallery exhibition venue for the Mount Pleasant Artists Guild, Perspective requires potential exhibiting artists to go through a jurying process in order to maintain a diverse selection of work from the most skilled Guild members—many of whom have received awards and accolades for their work.

Displaying the works of more than 35 artists, the gallery supports locals, and a portion of every sale is given to the Mount Pleasant Artists Guild annual community arts outreach fund. Perspective also offers a variety of open workshops taught by exhibiting artists as well as regionally and nationally known instructors.
