The Artists, Designers and Galleries of Dilworth Artisan Station (at 118 E. Kingston Ave) will be hosting a Holiday Open House on Friday, December 2nd from 6-9pm. With three floors of interior design studios, art galleries, artist studios and showrooms on display, there's plenty for people to check out!
Participating studios include: Ann Conrad, Anne Neilson, Jeff Cravotta Photography, Leonor Demori Neisler, Darnell & Company, Angela Nesbit, Miriam Durkin, Windy O'Connor, Pamela Freeman, Plum-Kim Moore, Lita Gatlin, Sandavi Studio, Tony Griffin, Scott Miller & Associates, Fryday & Doyne, Jim Shannonhouse, Caroline Hall, Alexandra Speer, Paul Hastings, Studio 21 Gallery, Sharon Hockfield, Bobbie Underhill, Heidi Kirschner, John Seibels Walker, K. Interiors, Wingspan Coaching and Holt McLean. Overflow parking available at deck behind Carrabba's at Park & South.
Atherton Mill (on South Blvd.) will be a great place to shop with a one night only Holiday Market inside the Atherton Market, special Champagne tasting at Vin Master, art and interior design collaboration at the pop up Elder Art Gallery featuring the Carl Plansky collection, the newly opened Savory Spice Shop and great food and drink from Icehouse and Big Ben's British Pub.
Two Christmas Tree Lots are set up in South End so come for art and pick up a tree as well. One is located in the back of Atherton Mill next to the Market and the second is located on the corner lot of Park Ave and Camden Rd.
The Camden Rd area is always a-buzz on gallery crawl night:
Charlotte Art League hosts its Annual "Small Works for the Holidays" December art sale with over 50 local artists offering works in a variety of styles and prices.
Unexpected Finds is also on Camden just a little further south and will offer a special wine tasting and an eclectic mix of goods.
Blacksheep Skate Shop will host a special gallery featuring 20 years of Skateboarding Photography in their store
Modern Fabric, Niche and newly relocated Boulevard at South End will be open with great shopping opportunities.
Common Market and Phat Burrito are near by offering a quick bite, great atmosphere and great beverage options.
Gil Gallery, Coffee & Thompson Gallery, Doma Gallery and Carolina Clay Connection are all must stops but they are a little spread out so probably best to drive rather than "crawl" to these locations.
Add SoBo Loft Boutique and Gifts to your list as they have a wide range of local and creative items.
Have dinner at The Liberty and then start your crawl at SoBo. It's just a block walk north on South Blvd to Dilworth Artisan Station and then another block to Lark and Key so save the gas.
Gallery Crawl guides are located at galleries, Atherton Market and Common Market.
