Checking in on Your Art Resolutions...

Remember earlier this year when we all resolved to visit at least one museum or gallery a month? There are some great openings going on in the next couple of weeks - be sure to get them on your calendar!

Redux Studios and Gallery Move

Saturday, May 6th 7 to 10 p.m.
The NEW Redux Studios
1056 King Street, Charleston


The new Redux space is amazing, and their new offerings are incredibly exciting. Read all about it here, then go check it out next Saturday night. Congrats to our friends at Redux!


Gibbes Museum of Art Public Tour
Tuesday, May 2nd
2:30 - 3:30

Speaking of renovations, if you haven't seen the Gibbes since their award-winning makeover, their public tour is a great way to learn more about their incredible permanent collection. Once you take in the permanent collection with a docent, the rotating exhibits are more fun.

Yes, we know this takes place during the day. Blow off work at noon, have lunch downtown, then enjoy a leisurely stroll to the museum. The whole point of the resolution is to make room in your life for art!

"When the Gibbes Museum opened in 1905, the nation celebrated what Charleston has always understood: the power of art – to inspire our imagination, heal our hurt, and nourish our souls."

New Artist: Zak Collins

4/18/2017

 
We are excited to introduce you to our newest artist, Zak Collins. Zak began taking pictures during an extremely difficult and transformative time in his life. He says he was hyper-focused as a coping mechanism for grief. This focus stirred a dormant creative instinct, which eventually gave way to a new sense of balance.

Today Zak takes a reductionist approach to his subject matter. He almost exclusively photographs southern landscapes, including coastal and wetland regions. He eliminates anything that is nonessential from the composition so that the viewer can focus on the subject matter.

We are happy to welcome Zak to the Art Mecca, and we invite you to stop by and see his beautiful new work.

New Artist: Noel Poff

4/13/2017

 
Noel Poff is one of our new artists at Art Mecca. Noel is a Beaufort native who now lives in Charleston. Noel is a photographer who takes photographs of his travels so they won't get lost in time. He says his trips are intended for self-exploration, and often involve the road less traveled.

Noel looks for the moments in time where harmony exists between humans and the environment. Though he sees taking pictures an "everyday thing", Noel believes that photography creates more space for deeper revelations to occur, as well as a different way to communicate.

It's going to be another gorgeous Lowcountry weekend, come see Noel's work and get inspired!
