It's Spoleto! Rhymes with Tomato!

Oh my gosh you guys, it's Spoleto time already and if you haven't been downtown, it's wild. I mean in a good way, so you need to get down here.

If you're reading from out of town, Charleston's annual Spoleto Festival is probably the biggest event of the year around here. For these next few weeks, the art world comes to us and it. is. awesome. Plus, Chucktown is jam packed with art, music, and theater fanatics.

It's also Piccolo Spoleto, which is sort of the visual arts kick off for Spoleto. Marion Square is full of artists in their tents, displaying, chatting and making art while you watch. There are special exhibits at Redux, Gibbes, and all around town. Be sure you make time this holiday weekend to go get your art on.

Back at Art Mecca, our artists have been busy and we've got lots of new work. We also have some talented new artists that you won't want to miss. If you're downtown at the Farmer's Market or visiting one of the exhibits, we're just up the block. Come by and say hey!
