Artist Bio Flowers at Rainbow Row By Fer Caggiano
Fer Caggiano is a Brazilian born painter who specializes in still life, landscapes and portraits. Ranging from a traditional to modern style, Fer creates colorful, textured, impasto oil paintings that capture visions of the world she sees. Not only does Fer make bold statements with her oils, she also paints using watercolor to create more subtle, relaxing artwork. Fer has loved art since opening her very first box of crayons. After years in advertising and marketing, her heart eventually led her back to painting, so she moved to New York and enrolled at The Art Students League, where she studied painting, drawing and mixed media. Her work has since been recognized worldwide and has been showcased in many galleries, including the prestigious Agora Gallery, SOHO. Fer currently resides in Charleston, where she paints in her home studio. She is open to commission work and is happy to work toward her clients’ requests.

Join the galleries of the Charleston Gallery Association in celebrating art and artists in their monthly First Friday Art Walk Gallery Hop. Enjoy special exhibitions, meet artists, enjoy live entertainment and share refreshments with other art lovers.
Art walks are held every month, on the first Friday of the month, but not all galleries participate each month – participating galleries range from one person exhibiting to larger galleries with more than 30 artists. First Friday Art Walks are your best opportunity to meet artists and talk to them about their work – and when large groups of people come together to experience art, it becomes a street party. 10
Many galleries have artists doing demonstrations, giving you an intimate look at how local artists create. These events are high energy and excitement – half the fun is the connection with other art lovers. Download the map of galleries on the Charleston Art Association website or pick one up at any participating gallery or Visitor’s Center. It doesn’t matter where you start, but galleries recommend you start at 5pm to allow time to visit as many as possible. The Charleston Gallery Association – with approximately 40 member art galleries – continues the work of gaining the world’s recogni-
www.charlestongateway.com
tion of Charleston as a global "Art Destination." The galleries showcase local, regional and national artists' works in a variety of styles and media including realism, contemporary, abstract, landscape and Lowcountry, in original paintings, jewelry, photography and sculpture. The Charleston Gallery Association grew out of the French Quarter Gallery Association, which was established over 20 years ago and included more than 25 galleries. Now this all-inclusive group incorporates the greater Charleston area and has more than 40 art galleries currently participating with more member galleries joining every year.

Having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bombardment.

To this day, the charming Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike. The Charleston City Market is one of the nation’s oldest public markets and the cultural heart of Charleston. Home to more than 300 vibrant entrepreneurs, the market is open every day of the year except December 25th.
