YoArt’s projects encourage learning through discovery, discipline, improvisation and technique all in efforts to spark creative thinking.

The 2013 Hope on Goat’s Oyster Roast will host a variety of entertainment including  live music, artists, craftsman, amazing food and a silent auction.Tickets are $40 each (children under 12 free) and are available  for purchase here. The event will take place rain or shine at the Goat Island Gatherings, Goat Island, Channel Marker 116 on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, just north of the Isle of Palms Marina. 

 

Subtle Imperfections

Redux is pleased to announce that Subtle Imperfections: Works by Mark Hosford and Janice Jakielski will open this Friday, Oct. 12th with a reception from 6:30-8pm. Both artists will share the opportunity to talk about their work from 5:30-6:30pm. The opening reception is free and open to the public.

Jakielski’s intricately hand crafted bonnet like objects inspired by child hood memories are poetic metaphors of communication. Hosford and Jakielski use a decadent palate to ease the complexities of social interactions and allow the viewer to escape into a fantastical reality. At the opening reception Mark Hosford will have completed Redux’s newest mural.

The Blue Ribbon Revival and Mechanical River with Joel Hamilton will perform live music at the opening reception from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm.  The Pot Kettle Black food truck will be available for purchased and refreshments.
