“Perspectives on Place”

In this Gibbes exhibit, witness the changes that have taken place in areas on the east side of the peninsula, above Calhoun Street, over the last 100 years. Works by American realist painters Edward Hopper (who painted Charleston Slum, 1929, at right) and Andrée Ruellan (who visited in 1936), as well as other noted creatives, are displayed together for the first time, inviting viewers to consider artists’ roles as documentarians and social commentators. Gibbes Museum of Art, 135 Meeting St. Tuesday & Thursday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Wednesday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; & Sunday, 1-5 p.m. $15; $13 senior/military; $10 student; $6 ages four-17; free for child under four/member.
