French Quarter Galleries in Charleston, SC, Open Doors for a Night of Art - May 2
The French Quarter Gallery Association in Charleston, SC, will host its next Art Walk on May 2, 2003 from 5-8pm. The event's free and the public is welcome.
During the Art Walk, you can
often meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and take a "free"
docent lead tour of the Gibbes Museum of Art. The French Quarter
includes galleries and museums within the boundaries of Tradd,
Market, Meeting and East Bay Streets in historic downtown Charleston.
This five-block district can easily be covered in a single Art
Walk. You can start your tour at any of the participating galleries.
Each gallery will have maps available.
