Art Festival to be Held at Tradesman Brewing Co. on December 13th

Local artists Chad Dyar, Kate Ritchie (Redux Contemporary Art Center), and Julie Glass (Charleston Artist Guild) have teamed with the brewery to bring Charleston a festival featuring artwork, artistic demonstrations, craft beer, and food. Local artist Patch Whisky will also be onsite doing a live demonstration.

The festival will be held outdoors with plenty of space to shop in a socially distanced environment. Masks are required when moving around the venue. The event is free to attend and free parking is located onsite at 1647 King St. Ext.

“It’s been a really uncertain year for many artists,” Dyar said. “Art isn’t only about creating something that’s aesthetically pleasing, it’s about underlying emotions, expression and connecting with something that’s bigger than you – mainly other humans.

As hyper-connected as we all are these days, the internet and virtual events will never replace face-to-face interaction. It’s a great tool but only as a complement to building the type of relationships that can only happen in-person. We’re here to give artists and art appreciators an opportunity to reunite face-to-face, while keeping everyone’s safety as our first priority.”
