The North Charleston Artist Guild is an arts organization hosted by the The Olde North Charleston Merchants Association operating out of the Old Village of Park Circle North Charleston. The purposes of the guild are to network local artists, promote their works through alliance with Park Circle area businesses, advance artist communities in the area, organize and promote events in all art disciplines, and educate the public about the arts. To find out more about the guild, visit our website at (http://www.northcharlestonartistguild.org) or e-mail us at (info@northcharlestonartistguild.org).
In October I attended Parktober Fest held in this same area. Together with the Olde North Charleston Merchants Association, the North Charleston Artist Guild presented this outdoor arts festival along East Montague Avenue. I ran out of time working on our November 2011 issue of Carolina Arts, to make a timely posting on that event, but I thought I’d show you some photos from that day – which was wonderful – in hopes that more people would travel to this changed part of North Charleston – which is turning into a very nice community. I assure you, if you haven’t been there in over ten years you’ll be surprised and amazed at what you’ll find there.
Here’s some photos:
