News > 10 Art Openings to Attend in Charleston This Friday

A PREVIEW OF THIS SPRING’S ART WALK

It can feel like a race between the hours of 5:00 and 8:00 trying to navigate all the galleries during the Charleston Gallery Association‘s spring Art Walk. There is so much local, regional, and national artists’ works to see—from landscape, realism, contemporary, abstract, photography, and sculpture. Here’s some of the shows we’re most excited to see this Cinco de Mayo.
