Columbia is buzzing with anticipation as local artist Rob Shaw prepares to unveil his latest collection at his gallery, tucked right in the heart of downtown. That’s right, folks! This Thursday, November 21, from 5 to 8 p.m., art enthusiasts and casual browsers alike are invited to a fabulous reception where you can feast your eyes on some stunning new pieces. And let’s not forget the refreshments – you’ll get to nibble on hors d’oeuvres and sip on delightful beverages while soaking in the creative vibes!
Rob Shaw isn’t just any artist; he’s a true Columbia native and a proud Gamecock who earned his bachelor’s degree in studio art at the University of South Carolina. Since opening his gallery back in April 2019, he has dedicated himself to showcasing the talents of not only himself but many local South Carolina artists as well. Isn’t it fantastic to have such artistic flair right here at home?
This year has brought about exciting changes for Shaw as he relocated his gallery to a new, bustling spot at 2123 Park Street, just off Elmwood Avenue. Complete with a full-service frame shop, the gallery is a vibrant addition to Columbia’s art scene.
If you haven’t caught on yet, this open house is all about Shaw’s newest paintings, so expect great things. Art lovers can expect to see beautiful works that celebrate the charm of Columbia and the stunning South Carolina coast. Shaw has been playing around with acrylics recently, but he’s back to his roots with the large-scale oil paintings he’s known for. It’s a special coming home for him and an experience you won’t want to miss!
Just in time for the holidays, guests will have the chance to purchase these amazing artworks. Plus, gift certificates will be available at the gallery, making it easy-peasy for you to give the gift of art this season. Whether you want to take home a unique piece or explore framing options, you’re covered.
No need to worry about where to park—visitors can conveniently park on the street or in the nearby Village Church lot. So grab a friend or two and make a night of it—embrace the community spirit while supporting local talent!
With clear skies predicted and a cozy high of 68°F, the evening will be just delightful for an outing. Bundle up a little and head out to celebrate art and creativity in your very own town.
This open house is not just an art show; it’s a warm invitation to immerse yourself in the local culture and foster connections with fellow art aficionados. Whether you’re looking to decorate your home or simply appreciate the talent that surrounds us, this night promises to be a feast for the senses!
Mark your calendars, set those reminders, and get ready for a night of art, inspiration, and community in downtown Columbia! We can’t wait to see you there this Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. It’s going to be a night to remember!
