WALK Gallery

WALK Gallery, LLC is excited to tell you about our newest collaboration with Charleston Animal Society (CAS) on an art show titled, “How Much is that Doggy in the Window?”

“How Much is that Doggy in the Window?” is a new project we plan to expand so we can work with many area shelters to help bring awareness to their needs, and the animals that need to be adopted. Our first project will open the week of the South Eastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) and go through the end of February.

Our hope is that artists will donate a work of art for our first show, which benefits CAS. What does not sell will be entered into the 2010 A Furry Affair, CAS’s annual fundraiser in June. To donate your work please email us at entry@walkgallery.org for details. All artwork will need to be dropped off by Feb 5, 2010 ready to hang. Drop off locations will be announced through email.

The artwork needs to be related to animals. 2d work is preferred, but if you have a 3d piece you’re interested in donating please send a picture of it. The artwork will be in the Millennium Building windows on the corner of King and Calhoun and at 501 King Street.

If you have any questions please email Christina Bailey at entry@walkgallery.org

Here’s a little about it.

Juxtapositions: artists respond to poets and poets respond to artists

12 poets and 12 artists will be selected by jury to participate in Juxtapositions: artists respond to poets and poets respond to artists. Poets will use the Japanese poetry form of a Haiku in response to a work of art, or an artist will respond to the poets Haiku. A jury of 3 poets and 3 artists will select 12 poets and 12 artists from South Carolina from the submissions received by November 10th. Any form of 2Dimensional artwork will be accepted. The exhibitionis scheduled for March 5 – April 30, 2010. An opening reception will be announced closer to the exhibition dates.

Today is the International Day of Peace and Cease Fire sanctioned by the UN in 2001!

In 2001, The United Nations General Assembly resolution (A/Res/55/282) was unanimously adopted by UN member states, formally establishing an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on the UN International Day of Peace, fixed in the global calendar on 21 September-Peace Day.  Since the day of peace was accepted by the UN, internationally, Peace One Day has been successful in creating peace building education curriculum, soccer tournaments, and establishing peace day celebrations, ceasefires, and other peace-building initiatives all over the world.

WALK Gallery partnered with Charleston Peace One Day to help bring awareness to today. Imagine all that could be done if the public was aware that they had one day they could go in and help populations in war zones receive aid, clean water, medical assistance, and whatever without the overwhelming risk of injury. Already thousands are being helped, that is why WALK Gallery has decided to curate a show entitled Peace: What a day of Peace Means. Artists have created works that were inspired by What a Day of Peace Means to them. The work is at 372 King Street the former Millennium Music Store.

The following are artists that are exhibited:

Scott Debus
Joanna Jackson
Mike Lane
Christine Rodino
Steven Lawrence
Kimberly Held
Matt Bolt
Stephanie Drawdy
Angela Chvarak
