North Charleston to Host Family-Friendly Art Celebration REFRAME on November 3rd

Exciting Art Event in North Charleston: REFRAME

North Charleston, get ready for a vibrant celebration of art and community! On Sunday, November 3rd, from 3 PM to 5 PM, the Park Circle Community Building, located at 4800 Park Circle, will come alive with an innovative event called REFRAME. This event, presented by the Gibbes Museum of Art, aims to reshape how we think about museums and the art world, which can often feel a bit daunting and exclusive.

Art for Everyone!

One of the best things about REFRAME is that it is designed to be family-friendly and open to everyone. The goal is to make art accessible and enjoyable for all, breaking down the barriers that sometimes make museums seem unwelcoming. This interactive event encourages attendees to unleash their creativity by making their own artwork. You don’t have to be a professional artist; all you need is a willingness to explore your artistic side!

Live Music and Entertainment

Adding to the festive atmosphere, there will be live music by the talented Ray Singleton. This Charleston native and former contestant on America’s Got Talent is known for his incredible voice and engaging performances. Enjoy his music while you paint and create, adding rhythm to your artistic experience!

Meet the Artists

Another highlight of the day will be the live painting session with Gibbes Visiting Artist Christopher “Kolpeace” Johnson. Johnson focuses on celebrating his Black Southern culture through an inspiring series of liberating portraits. Watching him work will not only be a treat for the eyes, but it will also provide insight into how culture and personal identity can influence art. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from an artist who brings a rich narrative to life through his creations.

Hands-On Art Materials Provided

You might be wondering, “What if I don’t have my own supplies?” No worries at all! The event organizers will provide all the necessary easels and materials for attendees. So whether you’re a child, a teenager, or an adult, simply show up and get ready to express yourself! There’s no registration needed, making it easy for families and friends to drop by and join in the fun.

Community Partnership

This event is made possible through a collaboration between the Gibbes Museum of Art, the North Charleston Cultural Arts Department, and the City of North Charleston. These partnerships highlight the significance of community engagement and the vital role that culture and art can play in bringing people together.
