Staff reports  |  The city of North Charleston will open a new free art gallery at Park Circle to present works scheduled in the North Charleston City Art Gallery, which has been shuttered indefinitely because of the closure of the Charleston Area Convention Center’s Performing Arts Center and Coliseum.

The new gallery, formerly known as the Olde Village Community Building, will open Aug. 1 at 4820 Jenkins Avenue.  Hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.  In addition to the monthly exhibitions, the new space will feature a gift shop that offers a variety of items by local artists, art workshops and recurring meetings when it’s safe.

Park Circle Gallery’s inaugural exhibitions include photographs by Nicole Robinson of Charleston and paintings by Sarah Harris of Hanahan. The concurrent solo exhibitions will be on view August 1-29, 2020.
