New Year, New Art

The Scout Guide

The January theme at the CHARLESTON ARTIST COLLECTIVE is one of my very favorites: Artist’s Choice. To see what an artist creates when given complete creative freedom is fascinating, liberating even. And what better time for a breath of fresh air than after the hustle and bustle of the holidays?

Cloud Angles, by Dee Schenck Rhodes, $225

The organization, which promotes local artists by giving them a monthly theme and selling their creations at reasonable price points ONLINE, gives 15% of its proceeds to a different local charity each month. This month, the site has already raised $1400 for THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OF CHARLESTON.  This 27 bedroom home provides a welcome haven for families while their children undergo extensive medical treatment.

Spring Refresh with Charleston Artist Collective

The Places Post

Spring cleaning always leads to a general home spruce up, a fresh coat of paint, a new rug or a little furniture rearranging.  This Spring why not brighten your walls with a fabulous (and affordable) new painting from a local up and coming artist, all while helping a local charity?  Sounds like a tall order, but Charleston Artist Collective makes it as easy as a mouse click.

The online art gallery’s mission is “to provide an avenue for local artists to grow their potential and to provide collectors, young or experienced, access to original affordable art while giving back to Charleston area non-profits and organizations.”  Fifteen percent of sales go directly to a local charity and with small works starting at under $100, there’s no reason not to spring for a new piece, or two.

Every month has a new theme and charity.  This month’s theme is “Seeking Solace” and proceeds go to the Charleston chapter of the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Local Artists, Local Giving: the Charleston Artist Collective 

Charleston GOOD!

Good local art which supports good local causes... What a great idea!

The Charleston Artist Collective has brought this great idea to life and we are delighted to help promote their efforts which are a win-win for all of us.

The mission of the Charleston Artist Collective is to provide an avenue for local artists to grow their potential and to provide collectors, young or experienced, access to original affordable art while giving back to Charleston area non-profits and organizations. The Charleston Artist Collective is a web-based business that is comprised of local artists who are chosen to work together as a group towards shared goals of artistic challenges with a few shows throughout the year. We are committed to making art a part of daily life and to be a catalyst for greater collection, exhibition and appreciation of original art.

Artist Collective gives to charities

Moultrie News

Since its founding in 2010, the Charleston Artist Collective has given 15 percent of its monthly website sales to local charities. In addition, the artists have donated numerous paintings to help raise money for organizations. The collective announces that total contributions have recently surpassed $45,000.

The Charleston Artist Collective is an innovative on-line gallery, a virtual artistic space that promotes talented local artists, and gives collectors access to affordable art. The collective features a new themed collection of original paintings each month. The fundraising mechanism for supporting local charities is simple: Each month when the new collection of original paintings is released on-line, the website, www.charlestonartistcollective.org, announces which non-profit has been selected for that month. As sales transpire, the amount of money raised is tallied in the top right corner of the site.

Non-profits supported thus far include: Enough Pie, Charleston Moves, Camp Good Times, The Center for Women, Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Carolina Youth Development Center, Carolina Studios, Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Yo Art Project, Operation Home, Camp Happy Days, Lowcountry Open Land Trust, My Sister’s House and Share Our Susie, among others.

The collective’s artists are: Anne Darby Parker, Ann Keane, Dee Schenck Rhodes, Lynne Hamontree, Mary Hoffman, Whitney Kreb, Slava Roubonov, James “Squeakie” Stone, Susie Callahan and Marston Collins. All of these artists are life-long creators and perpetual students who enjoy being part of a group of artists and the challenge and inspiration of the monthly themes.

“The Charleston Artist Collective is designed to make the work of these artists available for viewing and purchase by a world-wide audience,” added Williamson. We’ve attracted a wonderful group of collectors — some experienced, some new to collecting art.”

The original works are various sizes and mediums and they are sold unframed. They start at $75 and up. In addition to the monthly themed Collections, there are collective shows from time to time that feature a wide variety of work.
