Christmas party at Charles Street Gallery

On Friday, Dec. 14, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., the public is invited to view new work and enjoy a holiday reception with the artists of the Charles Street Gallery. Joan Templer will fill the first floor with glad tidings, and upstairs the halls will be decked by Lynn Brown, Sharon DeAlexandris, Carol Henry, Jim Rothnie and Nancy Sturgis. Together, they form a formidable reason to be merry and bright; individually, these artists offer colors and skills hung with care in this gallery year-round. The Charles Street Gallery is located at 914, Charles Street, Beaufort; 843-521-9054, http://www.thecharlesstreetgallery.com.
