Robert Lange Studios Art Gallery

While exploring the charming streets of Charleston earlier this month, I unexpectedly discovered a quaint art gallery that quickly captured my heart. The moment I stepped inside, I was mesmerized by the stunning array of original artwork that adorned the walls, each piece reflecting the creativity and talent of various artists. This gallery stands out as truly unique, offering an eclectic mix of artistic expressions and interactive experiences that enhance the visit. One delightful feature is a whimsical swing located right in the center of the gallery, inviting guests both young and old to take a moment to enjoy the art from a different perspective. The collection displayed is not only interesting but also beautifully curated, showcasing a diverse range of styles and mediums. Each artwork tells its own story, making it a treasure trove for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. During our visit, none of the artists were present, but the essence of their work lingered in the air, inspiring curiosity and appreciation. Overall, this local art gallery is undoubtedly one of the best in Charleston. With its captivating art in a wonderfully eclectic studio setting, we found ourselves immersed in creativity and spent over an hour exploring and appreciating the talent on display. I highly recommend stopping by to see what is currently being showcased—it's a gem worth visiting!

If you’ve ever walked into an art gallery and felt like you didn’t belong, this is the antithesis of that experience. It’s warm and welcoming, and the art is beautiful. The artists, when present, are friendly and open to conversation. It’s an art gallery owned by artists, not, well… plutocrats. It’s listed as one of the top places in the city to visit, which was a little surprising at first, but now I understand why.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Charleston and quite literally stumbled upon this awesome art gallery. I really loved the Star Wars pieces and the swing that's upstairs. I also thought it's very cool that you can watch someone create beautiful artwork. Definitely worth a visit while you're in Charleston!

While visiting Charleston to visit family we decided to visit downtown area. We found a parking spot right in front of this art studio. So we walked around the wonderful buildings and park near the pineapple fountain. Had brunch at Magnolias restaurant 😋. So heading back to our vehicle we decided to check out the studio. What a great idea, this studio has different artists and it's a great place to view some beautiful, interesting and exciting paintings and sculptures. It's well worth the time if you're interested in visual pieces from artist who broaden their minds to help you expand your train of thinking. Hope y'all enjoy this special establishment.

Breath taking art gallery. We spent the day in Charleston and this was the highlight of the day. Incredible pieces and we had the chance to meet and talk to the artist Nathan while he was working on a painting. I highly recommend this stunning gallery to everyone ❤️

It was a beautiful studio unlike any others in town with interesting use of the space to display the artwork. I especially love the elephant in the room upstairs and the swing in front of the art work on the ground floor. I went back a few times during my stay in Charleston just to watch the artists at work. It is definitely worth a visit!

This art gallery is a true gem. The space itself is bright, inviting, and thoughtfully curated, showcasing an incredible range of artwork. I recently had the pleasure of talking with Robert Lange himself, and it was evident that his passion for art and supporting local artists is at the heart of everything they do. If you’re looking for high-quality, unique pieces or simply a place to appreciate exceptional art, I highly recommend stopping by. A must-visit for art lovers in Charleston!

This gallery is exquisite. So beautiful with unique pieces of art that spoke to me! If only I could afford everything i wanted! Big fan of this space and the curators that reside here! You will not be disappointed.

Really great studio to explore. Always tons going on and a pretty, open space. Highly recommend checking them out!

Robert Lange studios has a great collection of work that was great to walk through. Don't forget to go upstairs to see the pieces, including the elephant in the room.

By far my favorite studio in Charleston! This studio is what got me interested in art. There are so many unique pieces. I have had several opportunities to chat with some of the artists and it is incredible getting to know more about what inspires them. RLS is really a beautiful place for everyone. Pop on, grab a seat on the swing, and take in the beauty.

Big pluses of this gallery: - location: in the heart of the French quarter of Charleston with many restaurants, cafes, sights, and shopping nearby - interactive: downstairs piano invites you to play if you know how; sturdy swing downstairs in gallery invites you to swing; upstairs table of stones invites you to create your own rock stack - philosophy: wide price range reinforces their philosophy that art belongs to everyone - welcoming: they give a sketchbook to children with a nice message inside encouraging them to imagine and sketch - artwork: art is subjective but if seeking something different or whimsical or modern and stylish, you can probably find it here. We found our favorite artist here after going in and out of numerous galleries.

My favorite studio in Charleston! I love how eclectic everything feels and the staff is always lovely. I visit it any chance I get to see what's new. I highly recommend checking it if your visiting or if you're a local.

Some some beautiful pieces and loved a feather piece but saw no price tag.Had a great show and love artists like Heather McLeod.There was also a artist in residency who was really good and different.Loved they had a table upstairs to be creative. Also loved the sand table

Robert, Megan and Curry at Robert Lange studios have created an amazing business over the many years we have visited. They have made us and our family and friends feel so welcome every time we visit! Robert and Megan's art is fantastic, and we have many pieces from both in our home. And the other artists they have brought in to the space, in addition to their own work, make this gallery the most interesting in Charleston for sure. Most days you can chat to Robert or one of the other artists while they are working on one of their new works. Our favorite studio ever - even as compared to galleries in NY, San Francisco, London, etc. A MUST visit when in Charleston.

Highly recommend a stroll through this lovely gallery. Warm, inviting, and filled with a diversified collection of whimsical, witty and provocative work. Artists present with onsite studio allowed for inquiring minds to appreciate each piece. Interactive galleries created inclusive space for all.

Super unique fine art - love the tiger in the bowl - Tiny & Shiny! Will come back on next visit to CHS!

I've been following Robert Lange on instagram for a year and a half -- and what a treat to be able to visit the studio in person. Thrilling to see the brush strokes in paintings that when shared digitally could be photos! The dimensions brought out in real life were just stunning. And meeting Robert in person just delightful! What a welcoming and memorable visit. Thank you. I can't wait to see how your burning matchsticks series evolves.

Awesome art and gallery. The artwork is fun, modern and diverse. Would highly recommend a visit while in Charleston.

I have discovered some of my favorite artist through this studio and gallery! I first visited several years ago during a Friday night French Quarter art walk. The exposed brick walls, whimsical indoor swing and interesting art quickly made this gallery one of my favorites. The art changes a steady pace so there is always something new. And their social media updates are very helpful to know what's on exhibit and other events they have going on. This is a great location downtown and easy to access from most of the main avenues through Charleston's historic downtown.

My favorite art gallery in Charleston! The warmth of this creative family is apparent from the moment you walk in, with welcoming smiles for everyone. They are sincere in their joy to share the incredible artwork of artists they clearly admire and respect. Plus there are so many surprising touches (a swing! a piano!) that make RLS a delightful, accessible place to stop by and see great art with great people. Do not miss an Art Walk opening on the first Friday of each month!

This is the perfect place to find..and then proceed to lose yourself in the stunning artwork. If you need a happier place within the happy place of downtown Charleston, this is it. There are amazing restaurants right around the corner so this is the ideal date destination. The generosity of spirit is evident from the entrance motto by the door "art belongs to everybody." If you have the means to support the artists, these would be the centerpiece of your home. Thankfully, the artists have opened their "home" to all.

My friend and I were walking around Charleston and saw this gallery from the street. We decided to pop in and boy, were we glad we did! We met Robert as he was painting (an adorable and intricate elephant on a cupcake) and he told us about the studio and the art. The hyperrealism was breathtaking! The studio felt open and friendly, and every piece was interesting and amazing. Make sure to go check out the second floor- we accidentally stared at a coffee table for 30 minutes.... I would highly, highly recommend visiting RLS and next time I am in Charleston, it will be one of my first stops!

In a city renown for its art and galleries, RLS is an absolute standout. No matter your artistic leanings or your budget, there is something here for everyone. Not local? No worries -- follow their Instagram account which gives some love to all of the fantastic talent on display in the gallery. Don't miss a visit next time you're in Charleston -- you'll thank me later!

Just arriving today at the start of our vacation, we set out on a tour of local art galleries. Stopping late in the day at Robert Lange's Studio turned out to be an amazing experience. Settled in an old brick building centered in the historic district, Robert gave a brief history of his gallery. It is shared with his wife, Megan, both of whom are accomplished artists. He introduced brilliant artists & their gifted work, & pulled us into an art discussion that was unforgettable. Each piece was so perfect they almost fooled us into thinking they were photographs. The undetectable brush strokes, painstaking commitment & passion of the various artists, & superb wall locations & lighting of the studio captivates your attention. We immediately broadcast our visit to family & friends. Yes, we highly recommend. We will return - this time with our checkbook.

LOVE this place!! This gallery is not to be missed; it's amazing. The art will blow you away, the people are savvy, smart and cool. And the building is classic, historic Charleston. If you are a tourist, put it on your list. If you are a local, visit often!! Can't say anything negative.

This was my first visit to Charleston, SC. My husband and I were just walking around the Historic District when I came across a sign " Art Belongs to Everyone-All are Welcome ". I was immediately intrigued and love art ...so we walked in. I immediately felt comfortable. It was warm and inviting. The space was a beautiful, open , a historic brick building with beams and gorgeous hardwood floors . The walls were filled with contemporary , creative and imaginative art pieces. I enjoyed walking through each part of the gallery and found myself getting to know the artist just through their art pieces from nature, imagination and reality to playful and fun imagery. Then, there's an interactive component to the gallery, a bench you can swing on while viewing art , a piano to play, and an area to create rock art. Robert Lange, artist and owner of the gallery was there. He was painting a piece. He was very nice, chatted with us and answered some of our questions about places in Charleston. Even though we didn't leave with a piece of art, we left with the idea of knowing that "art does belong to everyone " and how it sparks your inner creativity ! With all that to say, I highly recommend this art gallery in Charleston!

During my visit in Charleston I wanted to go visit some of the art studios and I had read in Condé Naste too 15 things to do and they highly recommended Robert Lange's Studios. So I set out from my hotel on my journey by foot to find Robert Lange's Studios on the south end of Charleston. It was a beautiful walk down Queen Street, one of the most photographed in Charleston and it had given me much inspiration and appreciation for the colonial architecture. When I finally arrived at the studio I was entranced by the amazing artwork that he's created. I have included a few of my favorites that I took photos of while visiting. If you're an art buff or just have an interest or appreciation for art then this studio will definitely inspire you and touch something in you.

You must stop here if you are in Charleston! The friendliest employees, beautiful art, and it's free. Great hanging bench to take photos, live artist you can watch in their studio, and always evolving exhibits.

Every time I'm in downtown Charleston, I find myself stopping by this studio. Staff are friendly, esthetic is phenomenal and the art is impeccable! Must see! Fun for all ages.

My wife and I recently moved to Charleston and stumbled upon RLS as we were exploring the French Quarter. We have been here a month and checked out multiple art galleries and studios, but RLS was something special. It has the elegance of an art studio but way more engaging. Between the swing, stone stacking module, and getting to watch Robert paint live in his studio, it is a Charleston treasure. Walk in and explore! You won't regret it.

Robert Lange Studios is by far my favorite art studio in downtown Charleston. The friendly vibes and amazing artwork is always a treat. I cannot recommend this place enough :)

I loved this art studio! Not only does he showcase beautiful art, he also has some fun activities within the studio. Upstairs he has a rock building room that could have you there all day building. I would highly recommend this art studio!

A friend introduced me to this gallery on a visit to downtown Charleston. It's set in an unobtrusive brick-fronted building that perfectly captures the charm and history of Charleston. The interior is warm and spacious and obviously designed to lure you in to see the art. The works are amazing, created by the gallery owner and other in-house artists. Several of the upstairs rooms are working studios for the artists. I love the art and the atmosphere, particularly the swing and the rock room. Do yourself a favor if you're touring King Street and take the turn down Queen street.

My fiancé and I stumbled into this studio while exploring Charleston. We didn't have much time, but we wanted to explore one art studio before we headed back to our car. I'm SO glad this is the one we decided to check out! Robert Lange Studios had some of the coolest and most unique pieces of art I've seen. I loved that every wall/corner/turn featured something engaging. I would highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

What can I say about this gallery that hasn't already been said....well I'll repeat it's a true gem! We first discovered it more than 15 years ago on a vacation to Charleston and have been avid followers ever since. One thing we love the most is you never feel pressure to buy anything. The current space is perfect to just take in some great works from fantastic artists. Over the years we have purchased some awesome pieces and treasure them more and more each year. If you happen to be in the area during an opening it's an added benefit because of the various new works so get on their email list for notification. Highly recommend stopping in if you are visitor or a local!

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob and Megan a few years ago at a mutual friend's wedding, and have been following their art journey ever since. I absolutely love following them on Instagram and seeing what new art they, or their family of artists, are working on. Hopefully I'll get down to South Carolina some day to be able to see their studio in person!

Not one of but the coolest art gallery in Charleston! Fun and lighthearted with a great contemporary collection of work! Follow their Instagram for a curated daily dose of art.

Gorgeous, interesting work that's interactive, fresh, and fun. Recommend a visit to anyone in the area!

RLS is one of my all time favorite art galleries and it really feels like an immersive experience as you walk through the space. As a Charleston local, I love bringing friends and family by the gallery to view the latest pieces on display. RLS has a range of well curated styles and has a very welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend paying a visit to this gallery - it is truly one of Charleston's treasures!

Take it from a local...this is one of the best fine art galleries in Charleston. The artists that adorn the walls of Robert Lange Studios are innovative, incredibly creative, dedicated to their craft and just flat-out talented. Whether you are a serious collector or someone who just appreciates beautiful art, check this place out; you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I visited as many art galleries as we could in Charleston today, and the RLS gallery was by far the most engaging. The whimsical and innovative artwork was awe-inspiring, and I especially appreciated the efforts made to encourage visitors to interact with the gallery by observing artists at work, coloring templates created by one of the artists, swinging, etc. Messages throughout advised visitors that they may explore these areas, swing on the swing, talk to the artists while they work, which made the whole experience feel so inviting and welcoming.

We love this art gallery! Beautiful, unique pieces each time we come! Everyone that works there is so welcoming to ALL! Highly recommend visiting RLS!!!

Robert Lange Studios is an awesome art gallery and event space in Charleston. I like how the gallery is interactive and has a wide variety of different art styles all in one location. The atmosphere and vibe of this gallery is very creative and inspiring and I often leave feeling much better than when I walk in. I look forward to getting more involved in art in Charleston and this Robert Lange Studios has inspired me to do so.

My favority gallery in Charleston - so much talent and creativity! Especially like the paintings of animals in mirrored bowls by Robert Lange.

My brother and I were visiting Charleston for the first time, and read about this studio in a travel book. The artwork was intriguing and unique. The collection was so well thought out and ranged nicely in style and medium. There were several amazing sculptures as well. Out timing was good because we even got to see an artist at work in one of the studios! This is a place I would love to visit again.

Love this studio! I especially love the depth of the pieces! So much life in the art! Friendly environment that welcomes you right in!

I've been a big fan of this studio since they were in the old location on East Bay. I love their motto that "art is for everyone." Whether there on art walk night or just stopping in on a weekday, they are so warm and welcoming. After years of admiring his work I finally bought a Nathan Durfee piece last year!

Love everything about RLS. Amazing art, creative and thought provoking. A must visit!

I found the studio and artist, Megan Aline Lange, on Instagram and just fell in love with her work. They feature so many talented artist and I hope to discover many more here in the future.

Robert Lange Studios is easily my favorite art gallery in Charleston. The artists in residence are incredible, and a rotation of featured artists from around country are showcased as well. I've always been an art lover, but have friends who hesitate when I invite them to this studio because they don't consider themselves "art people" or "don't get art"....but they always fall in love with the studio just as much as those who are trained artists or seasoned collectors . In short, this gallery is a good time for everyone. The artwork is modern and innovative, and so is the space itself. I love how the artists' work(s) in progress is also displayed, and on certain nights you can pull up a chair and watch them paint. This gallery throws the best opening night parties, too. I heard Robert Lange speak about his work and his experience opening this studio when he gave a public lecture at The Citadel several years ago. It was a fascinating presentation and made me appreciate his art even more-- so if you see him around the studio, don't miss an opportunity to ask him about his work!

Robert Lange Studios is a fantastic and quaint art gallery that truly had some incredible works of art! The gallery is perfectly located in the heart of Charleston and fits into the cities artistic vibes incredibly well. Many of the paintings and sculptures bring together a wide range of styles and artistic techniques. Well worth a visit if in the Charleston area.. Would highly recommend

Love this gallery. Great art, Great people, Great city. A must stop anytime you're in Charleston!

This place is super cute. Its fun to walk around and admire the artwoek. We built a rock tower. There is a swing and piano. I loved the cute signs.

"All Are Welcome." This is the phrase that greets you at Robert Lange Studios. When you open the door and walk inside, you are likely to be greeted by a smiling person at the front desk and, particularly if you have a small child with you, they'll point around the corner and excitedly say "There's a swing in that room!" Settle in on the swing and take in the art that is up for your enjoyment on the adjacent walls. Listen to someone pick out a tune on the piano in the room as you stroll around and take in the gorgeous paintings. (Or play a bit yourself if you feel so inclined...) Make your way up the stairs where you'll see another sign: "All Are Welcome." There, you might happen upon an artist at work who will let you hang around and ask questions. Lounge on the couches and discuss with a friend which painting speak to you the most, which one you could best imagine hanging in your own living room. Challenge your creativity (and entertain that aforementioned child) by building a rock sculpture. When you've taken in enough beautiful things to sustain you for the time being, make your way back downstairs and, if you're not yet ready to make a purchase, step out onto Queen Street. Don't be surprised if you find yourself asking "Did I really just have a great time at an art gallery?" "All Are Welcome." The motto of Robert Lange Studios is what first brought me through the doors and into the gallery. It's such an important idea, one that doesn't readily come to mind for most people when they think of art galleries. But it's the friendly staff, the comfortable surroundings, and of course, the stunning paintings that bring me back whenever I have a free moment to pop in. Saving my pennies for the day when I can buy one of these paintings for myself. Currently coveting #1: "Listen" by Adam Hall. I saw this stunning painting on the RLS Facebook page, and within 24 hours, I was in the gallery to admire it in person. Currently coveting #2: "Poseidon with the Inflatable Nessie" by Nathan Durfee. Durfee's work never fails to put a smile on my face.

The Art here is amazing. The only thing that surpasses the Art are the people behind it. Truly passionate about what they do with unbeatable integrity. I haven't come here without buying something and have friends who have come and now love the gallery as well. Each time I come back the art and the experience get even better!

This is my favorite gallery by far - and just an overall great place to hangout. The artists featured here are all extremely talented (and varying in their artistic styles) and with a new featured exhibit each month, the gallery is constantly changing. Yet, there is always that familiarity and comfort when walking through the doors; it's as if one is walking into their own personal gallery at home. The owners are wonderful people (and artists in their own right), as is the curator Curry, who is an absolute delight that is quick to great you with a warm smile upon entering. I recommend a visit to this gallery to all guests in town, so if you are ever in the French Quarter/ East Bay area, definitely stop in. From flip flops to bow ties, this is truly a place where "all are welcome" so stop in to enjoy this wonderful hangout.

Whenever I am in Charleston, I always make it a point to visit RLS. It is like visiting a Zen garden in the middle of downtown. Regardless of what time of year it is or which paintings are being displayed, the space in combination with the energy and uniqueness of each piece of art always evoke a sense of harmony. Everything simply belongs where it is; everything makes sense. It is clear that Rob and Megan know how to create a space full of positivity as well as a community of thoughtful and visionary artists. Furthermore, whenever I learn that a friend has plans to travel to Charleston, I always recommend RLS. So far, everyone I know has enjoyed it as much as I do.
