ArtWalk is BACK: Downtown Charleston Comes Alive

Tonight, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, ArtWalk makes its official 2026 return. Downtown storefronts and local spaces are transforming into vibrant galleries for the evening, kicking off a new season of creativity.

The main goal of ArtWalk remains the same: to bring more eyes to local art and more shoppers to the unique businesses that define downtown Charleston. It is a monthly celebration designed to support the "shop local" spirit and showcase the talented artists in our community.

The schedule is set for the year: ArtWalk returns every third Thursday from March through December. The only exception is in November, when the event moves to Black Friday to highlight local creators during the holiday shopping season.

From now until the December frost, Charleston's evenings belong to the artists. The doors are open, and the city is ready.
