Exciting Art Event Coming to Columbia!
Hey there, Columbia! If you’re looking for something fun to do, you’re in luck! This Thursday, November 21, Rob Shaw, a talented local artist and proud Gamecock, is hosting an open house at his gallery from 5 to 8 p.m.. It’s going to be a night filled with beautiful art, tasty hors d’oeuvres, and refreshing beverages!
Where to Go?
Head over to 2123 Park Street, just off Elmwood Avenue, to check out Shaw’s gallery, which has become known for showcasing amazing talent from South Carolina. Since opening its doors in April 2019, the gallery has turned into a local treasure, and it recently moved to this downtown location, making it easier for folks to stop by and enjoy the art.
What’s New?
During the open house, you’ll get the chance to see a substantial collection of Shaw’s newest paintings. This time around, he is showcasing his stunning new palette knife works that beautifully capture the essence of Columbia and the South Carolina coast. For those who have followed his journey, this event is particularly exciting because it marks Shaw’s return to large-scale oil paintings. He has been primarily focusing on acrylics lately, but now he’s back at it with his signature style!
Art for Everyone
Shaw’s artwork isn’t just reserved for his gallery; fans can also find his pieces at prominent spots like First Citizens Bank and the Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties. This has helped to spread his art throughout the community. Plus, if you’re in the market for some gorgeous artwork or custom framing, you’re in for a treat! The gallery will have gift certificates available for sale, perfect for holiday shopping.
Local Flavors, Local Vibes
Picture this: you stroll through the gallery, taking in the beautiful works of art while sipping on a nice drink. You mingle with other art lovers, nibble on delicious hors d’oeuvres, and of course, support a local artist! Whether you want to take home one of Shaw’s creations, grab a unique gift for a loved one, or simply enjoy a relaxing evening among friends, this open house promises to be a delightful experience.
Grab Your Spot!
Parking won’t be a hassle either! You can find street parking, or you might want to try the nearby Village Church lot. So, no excuses! Gather your friends, come out, and enjoy a special night that celebrates local art and community spirit.
As the holiday season approaches, events like this serve as a wonderful reminder of the rich culture our city has to offer. Plus, you’ll be supporting local talent and keeping the arts alive in Columbia.
