Art & Antiques just Outside Chas

Shopping the Outlying Areas The galleries in Charleston are renowned for the quality, variety, and technique they offer. What is not so popularly known is that some outlying towns such as Mt. Pleasant, Summerville, and Walterboro also have art galleries, some of which are owned, in cooperation, by the very same artists you'll find in Charleston. That's right, the same artists, the same quality work, but perhaps offered for a price commensurate with the overhead of an outlying area. Now that's worth the drive.

You'll find not only two-dimensional paintings and hand-crafted items from glass blowing to jewelry, photography, pottery, woven baskets and rugs, wood carving, cultural art, and more. The quality crafted items can be found in Walterboro's Folk Art Gallery, in particular, for highly reasonable prices. So if you go antique hunting in Walterboro, be sure to stop into the Gallery there. Or, if you go antique fishing in Summerville, stop into the Art Central Gallery there. If you find yourself in the art galleries, be sure to go to Old Mt. Pleasant town Center to visit the boutique antiques and galleries there. Johns Island and James Island also have galleries and shops worth visiting.
