From November 2-4, 2007, visitors will have an opportunity to visit 15 of the city’s most prominent art galleries, meet artists who are redefining Charleston’s diverse art scene, and have an opportunity to participate in one of the nation’s top art auctions-The Charleston Art Auction.
“Since the Charleston Renaissance Movement more than a century ago, Charleston has left its doors open, attracting generations of artists and art collectors to the historic district to pursue their interest and careers in fine art,†says CFADA President, Ann Long.
The fine art affair kicks off on Friday, November 2, with artists’ receptions at each of the CFADA galleries, featuring newest works of the weekend’s featured artists. Artists’ receptions begin at 5:30 p.m. in the gallery district. Admission is free.
On Saturday, November 3, artists will congregate in Washington Park, located at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets, for plein air painting demonstrations. With scrumptious breakfast and coffee, visitors can roam through the park and the surrounding streets, observe the weekend’s featured artists in their artistic modes, creating exquisite paintings. Artists will be in the park from 9 a.m.-noon. Admission is free and opened to the general public.
