About Us :

The Charleston Artist Guild is dedicated to serving the Arts Community of Charleston providing education in all aspects of the art world: workshops for the practicing artists, lectures for the burgeoning collector, and community outreach to ensure the future of the Charleston art scene.

The Guild holds monthly meetings with demonstrations that are open to the public at no cost September through May. We have various artists and experts give demonstrations in many subjects and mediums. The Charleston Artist Guild Gallery provides space for up to 50 of our exhibiting artists a permanent place to show and sell their work as well as hosting the Guild's Annual Members Exhibition. Our annual Signature Show is a juried exhibition open to all artists in South Carolina and the Guild's Spring and Fall sidewalk shows are the longest running arts events of their kind in Charleston.

We also work closely with the City of Charleston in sponsoring the Piccolo Spoleto Juried Exhibition. We use the Charleston Visitor Center for both our Annual Juried Exhibition and the Piccolo Spoleto Juried Exhibition. The shows display 75 pieces of artwork each and are seen by thousands of residents and people visiting Charleston.
