A FIVE-DAY CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS PRESENTED BY GIBBES MUSEUM OF ART
Art is powerful. Art challenges one’s perspective, one’s imagination, and one’s beliefs. Art can be both a safe space to discuss challenging topics and a space to welcome innovation. Art is creativity and exploration in its purest form. The power exists within the art. Art Charleston 2023 will PUSH THE BOUNDARIES for all that is possible. Through immersion in this five-day visual arts festival featuring unique programs and events, our presentations and collaborations will inspire, challenge and present Charleston’s strong and diverse human stories through the visual arts. We invite our community and participants to imagine with us, to question, to explore, and to recognize Art is the Reason.

LUNCHEON & LECTURE ART OF DESIGN
WEDNESDAY | APRIL 26, 2023
11AM CHECK-IN, NOON LUNCH
Art of Design is one of Charleston’s most iconic events of the year. Kicking off Art Charleston week, the luncheon and lecture has garnered national media coverage and become Charleston’s most sought-out ticket due to the world-renowned experts we bring to our city to present on a variety of design themes. Previous speakers include Hamish Bowles, Eva Chen, Vern Yip, Cathy Horyn, Melissa Biggs Bradley, Carolyne Roehm, Plum Sykes, Andrew Prince, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit, and Lewis Miller, who launched Flower Flash in New York City during the pandemic.
Carrying on in the tradition of excellent programming, our 2023 featured presenter is United Talent Agency (UTA) partner, creative director, and leading contemporary art collector Arthur Lewis. One of the largest talent agencies in Hollywood representing some of the biggest names in entertainment, UTA has expanded into the visual arts by luring major contemporary artists from around the world such as Titus Kaphar, Ai Weiwei and Enrique Martinez Celaya to their Artist Space gallery in Beverly Hills. With a new UTA satellite office now opening in Atlanta, charismatic Lewis stands poised to make a definitive impact on the art scene in the South.
Our classical European-style garden serves as the backdrop for our festive and informative gathering, welcoming more than 350 guests to enjoy a beautifully styled, exquisite, seated luncheon followed by a lively presentation with our experts.

STREET PARTY
ONE-OF-A-KIND MUSICAL PERFORMANCE LIVE AT THE GIBBES
FRIDAY| APRIL 28, 2023
6PM DOORS OPEN, 7PM PERFORMANCE
Join us for an intimate cocktail affair set to the backdrop of a performance by the two-time Grammy Award–winning musical ensemble: RANKY TANKY. The classically designed Lenhardt Garden and Fellows Reception Hall will be transformed into a cabaret setting for enjoying this concert with libations and lite bites. The group’s style of music has been described as, “soulful honey to the ears” by NPR. Selfdescribed global ambassadors, Ranky Tanky performers are passionate about their local culture and community, helping to faithfully preserve the traditions originated by African Americans in coastal South during slavery that are kept alive through the present day. While they have performed on The Today Show, PBS Newshour, Stephen Colbert’s Play at Home, and were featured artists in We The People, Live at the Gibbes will provide a uniquely personal opportunity to experience the group.
Live from the Gibbes is a sponsored event only and will not have tickets available for purchase.

ART CHARLESTON & BEEPLE STUDIOS
SATURDAY | APRIL 29, 2023 | 811:30PM
CLEMENTS FERRY ROAD GALLERY
A not-to-be-missed experience has been added to the Art Charleston calendar. We are pleased to be partnering with Beeple for an evening of digital art and fun. Beeple is Mike Winkelmann, an American graphic designer and world-famous digital artist. One of the originators of the current “everyday” movement in 3-D graphics, Mike has been creating a picture every day from start to finish and posting it online for over fifteen years without missing a single day. Now referred to as his “Everydays,” in 2021, Winkelmann sold “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” at Christies for $69 million. Beeple’s Everydays often uses references to politicians, pop-cultural icons, and the like to satirize current world events and create interpretations of modern politics and culture.
Beeple has just recently opened a 50,000 sq. foot studio in Charleston, SC where he makes his artwork. The Studio also features a 13,000 sq. foot gallery and 13,000 sq. foot experiential space. Please join us for a special sponsored evening with cocktails and light fare at the new gallery and studio on April 29th!
