Join Us For Downtown ArtWalk Tonight!
Downtown ArtWalk continues its 2011 season tonight. 
More and more downtown businesses are joining the effort to revitalize and reawaken downtown. ArtWalk brings people downtown, and once they see what it has to offer, they keep coming back.
ArtWalk is the epitome of why more and more people are going downtown – to be part of a rich culture. Charleston offers food, ideas, expressions, shops and customs not found anywhere.
Visit www.CharlestonArtWalk.com for more information. ArtWalk runs from 5 to 8 p.m.
