ReplyDeleteImagination Sparked By Art Walk
By L. Christie Linger
Every third Thursday of the month downtown Charleston comes alive. Art Walk is an event that spans approximately four blocks along Hale, Lee, and Capital Street. From 6 until 8 in the evening artists from the surrounding area showcase their work in establishments such as Taylor Books, The Purple Moon, and Art Emporium.
Art Walk creates a chance for the members of our community to socialize and take in the latest of the art scene all while getting in the daily recommended walk. Many venues provide free appetizers and refreshments to patrons. Before or after the Art Walk there are restaurants and cafes that line the blocks within quick walking distance for partakers to grab a bite to eat.
Capitol Street was pleasantly crowded during this past April’s event. Maps leading the viewers to different venues could be picked up from Taylor Books. With maps in hand, community members walked in building after building from beginning to end absorbing a variety of works. There were art works ranging from paper crafted statues, abstract paintings, and digital photography.
One crowd pleasing artist in particular was Amelia Schroeder. Schroeder’s work was located on the second floor of The Purple Moon. Her paintings were filled with vivid colors and smooth brush strokes. Schroeder’s work varied in and of them selves. Some works were abstract while others were fanciful portraits.
“Imagination”, oil on canvas, was a work that sparked talk amongst viewers of all ages both male and female. The artwork (shown to the right) was of a little girl with a bed sheet draped around her shoulders, newspaper tiara adorning her head, and a staff made up of a stick and flowers grasped tightly in her hand. The girl was leaping in the air with a vintage television in the background.
This work spoke volumes to some viewers. Charleston native Summer Hunt said, “ ‘Imagination’ is a work that expresses what this event is about. These artists put their imaginations to use to bring us wonderful works that we get to come out and see every month. It never fails; I always see a work that speaks to me just like this one is doing right now.”
“Imagination” was a work that inspired this writer to want to put my imagination into overdrive, to create with abandon and without constraints - just like the little girl in Schroeder’s artwork.
Many artists, not only Schroeder, come together with local businesses to create a place where imaginations soar and creations resulting from the soaring are showcased. The next time you find yourself needing something to pass the time on the third Thursday of the month, take a trip downtown and enjoy the local art scene.
The PopCulteer

A bit of a low-key ArtWalk took place in Charleston last night. Art fatigue from FestivAll combined with competition from Bridgefest subdued attendance a bit, but there were still plenty of folks out enjoying the art in the various galleries in the downtown area.
The PopCulteer took a prolonged mosey around town, and here is our biggest ArtWalk photo essay ever. Standouts this month included the Charleston debut of Amelia Schroeder at The Purple Moon, Tom Wills striking black and white photography at The Art Emporium and an impromptu art show, put together at the last minute, at The Good News Mountaineer Garage Gallery.
There were also many great new pieces by top artists all over town, and yours truly made his first visit to Chet Lowthar’s gallery, and was duly impressed.
