CHARLESTON, SC – Lese Corrigan will be Painting at in the Park at Washington Square Saturday, November 3 with the CFADA member artists and visiting artist Susan Romaine as well as others. Every year on the first weekend of November, CFADA puts on this event as a focus on Charleston as art destination it has been for centuries and as fundraiser for Charleston County’s high school art programs.
Come to the park between 9am and noon on that Saturday, November 3rd, and watch us paint! There will be coffee and snacks for those that can make it out. Starting at 11am, CFADA will host its Annual High School Art Competition, a juried show with submissions from students of Charleston County high schools. Saturday evening, paintings done during the morning’s en plein air event will be auctioned off. Proceeds buy art supplies for the participation schools. Corrigan Gallery is proud to be a member of this organization promoting the arts of Charleston worldwide and supporting the artists of the future.
The gallery will participate in the Gibbes Museum’s first Art on Paper Fair as part of this same Fine Art Weekend. Artists from the gallery include Manning Williams, Mary Walker, Lynne Riding, Kristi Ryba, William Meisburger, Richard Hartnett, Sue Simons Wallace, visiting artists John McWilliams, Charles Ailstock, Nancy Marshall and Corrigan will have fine art prints at the fair.
