Come experience an evening filled with art!  At 6:00 take a guided tour of Van Gogh and His Inspirations, then meet the artists featured in the Guignard Gallery exhibition En Plein Air: Scenes of South Carolina, which highlights the practice of creating outdoors. Laugh it up with improv from The Mothers of Trustus Theater at 6:30, and enjoy a 7:00 dance performance inspired by pieces in the CMA collection.

Free admission courtesy of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. Due to this exhibition’s popularity, there may be a wait to enter.

On Boyd Plaza, enjoy a pop-up beer garden by The Whig featuring live music from

  • 7 p.m.: Mids - New project featuring Cam Powell / Dylan Dickerson of Dear Blanca and Jon Warf / Michael Crawford of Niecy Blues with a sprawling range of influences from '70s Japanese psych-rock to classic era punk. 
     
  • 8 p.m.: Glass - Post-rock champs from the upstate. After a temporary hiatus the band has returned with an entirely new batch of material that shines as brightly as their 2016 debut record, Accent.
