Late Night Fridays on Gallery Row – Charleston, S.C.

November 15, 2007 by Susanne Talentino

Broad Street is home to the largest number of unique galleries in Charleston, featuring one-of-a-kind artwork, pottery and sculpture from all over the world. “We’re proud of our unique galleries and shops”, said Mary Phelps of Coco Vivo. “Late Night Fridays on Gallery Row provides us with an opportunity to meet customers and clients who may be on their way to dinner or who have just checked in to their hotels and would like to do some shopping after normal business hours. We can offer guests a glass of fine wine and a little leisurely view of what each gallery features. It also gives us a chance to see some of our local clientele who are working during our regular business hours and can’t get down to Broad Street to see us.”

After last year’s successful run from mid-November through the first week of January, the decision was made to begin Late Night Fridays beginning in October. Broad Street’s participating shops and galleries will be open and serving wine and other refreshments from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. each and every Friday from October 5th until January 4th. Each participating gallery will be featuring one of the fine wines available at Jake’s on Broad, and that wine will change weekly. For more information, you can contact us at 800-436-1272.
