The Tents are Going Up - Piccolo Spoleto Festival Art Show '08

Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Juried Art Exhibition Coordinator Vickie Ellis works with her staff to mark out tent locations in Marion Square early in the day.






The bell tower of Citadel Square Baptist Church towers over artists preparing their outdoor displays for the upcoming 17 days in Marion Square.


Lots to get done before Friday's opening of the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Juried Art Exhibition. Tents to put up, artwork to hang, displays to organize- the business side of the festival.









Soon these tents in front of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church will be be showcasing some of the best art in the region.

It's just a short walk across King St. to St. Mathew's Tea Room for a relaxing glass of tea and something to eat while visiting the Art Exhibition.

More about the afternoon Tearoom at St. Matthew's Church with an exhibition of paintings by members of the Charleston Artist Guild soon.
