Charleston, SC., has become an important art
center. Such terms as "Soho of the South"
and "the New Santa Fe" are being used to describe the dynamic visual
arts scene. Local, regional, national and
international artists are well represented in over 100 galleries in the Metropolitan
area.
Gallery Row is Broad Street where 15 galleries
cooperate to provide an exciting collection of fine art and an
active arts scene with their "First Fridays On Broad" featuring a
