Thursday's ArtWalk Will Feature 'Christmas Carol' Vignettes &
Free Trolley Rides

The Charleston Area Alliance is inviting people to do some Christmas shopping downtown during the Dec. 18 ArtWalk. It runs from 5 to 8 p.m.

“This is a great opportunity to purchase lasting gifts of art,” said Susie Salibury, senior vice president with the Alliance. “The December ArtWalk also is a fantastic way to get into the holiday spirit. We want people to bring their families and out-of-town guests downtown and show them the best of Charleston.”

Free trolley rides from venue to venue will be available.

This ArtWalk includes two additional businesses: Visions Day Spa and Peanut Shoppe, which will be serving free popcorn.

In addition, the Kanawha Players will be offering vignettes of the popular "A Christmas Carol" inside Art Emporium. James Raywalt plays Marley and Robert Weiford plays Scrooge.

The other ArtWalk locations are Callen McJunkin Gallery, Chet Lowther Studio, the Clay Center, Gallery Eleven, Good News Mountaineer Garage Gallery, the Purple Moon, Stray Dog Antiques and the Taylor Books Annex Gallery.
