Redux Contemporary Art Center

Great locally owned and operated art studio. I took a few classes while living in the area and enjoyed the experiences. My only complaint would be that some of the classes can be a bit expensive.

I am so glad we stopped in to check out the works in the gallery and explore all the different artist studios! It was free to enter and there was a host at the door to help us with questions. Local artists studios are within and some have items to purchase outside their studios. A great place yo scout local up and coming artistic creative talents in all sorts of works and mediums.

It was a really awesome art gallery. It was so great to see artwork and then also be able to buy local art while visiting Charleston! It’s walking distance from the shopping area highly recommend!

A sweet local gallery with a variety of intriguing works— was lucky enough to catch their monthly Friday open mic to see some amazing performances 🔥 Highly recommend checking out this community driven space.

Let me preface this review by saying I have very high standards and expectations of an Art space that has exhibitions and houses studio space. I applaud the mission of a nonprofit space designed to support artists but there are several vital things that must be adhered to. 1) The gallery space and shows must be flawless. High presentation standards are one thing the gallery has total control over. The venue must require the highest presentation standards possible for an exhibition or should not have one at all. The moment you lose sight of this, the presentation does more harm than good to your mission. Artists are always battling to be taken seriously. Presenting work in the most professional way possible is required to be taken seriously. There is no room for damaged, dirty or dinged artwork installed in an environment unsuited for the message that is being conveyed. 2) the space needs to be appropriate to the art. If you don't have a lot of space than you may be forced to only show smaller works or have a less dense show. If you have a giant building and only a small portion devoted to space for a show then you need to look at how much you value the show vs studio space. 3) Everything needs to be merit based. If you don't have an effective way of evaluating the merit of the art that you are representing then you only hurt the other artists and the mission itself. Income from the square feet used for studio space could be contrary to having a merit based art incubator. As I wish places like Redux to thrive I gave it 5 stars, in reality it needs lots of help from our community to thrive.

This place definitely has a younger person vibe but with your usually artsy flavor. A lot of studios where artists do their work. They do shows here occasionally and it is very cool to see what everyone creates. Building is older and not very clean but gives it more of a free spirit kind of vibe as well.

Daisy was informative and fun. She created an experience for me that left me excited to try something like this again!

Fantastic artists. Best part about the place is that both the staff and the artists are so happy to explain why the art that speaks to you is so nice. I don't know heads from tails about the technical aspects of art, but I do know what speaks to me and it was so cool how the artists were more than willing to teach me abot what they were doing and why. Highly recommend giving this studio a gander.

Working artists in a collective space invite you to explore their work.

i wanted to buy more art, so i showed up at 2:20pm and they were all locked up. sign on the door and google says they close at 3pm. just an fyi- call before you show up.

Fun place to start the night, often bringing in some great bands. They usually have a craft brewery serving beer which is a refreshing change from the usual piss-in-a-can (PBR, Bud Light, Miller Light) served at these kinds of places. The art is very contemporary and the kind of art that makes it hard to distinguish what is on display and what is an accidental placement of someone's trash. Come early if you are going to a show because it fills up fast.

Attended a "Pints & Canvas" event here recently, as well as many other art exhibitions in the past, and as usual, enjoyed myself so very much!!! Wow, it's refreshing to have such a phenomenal space (they moved into a new one kind of recently) and people that are truly inspired by their love for art. I can't wait to go back!!!! :)))) Great new spot and much better parking!

Always top notch contemporary art/artists/exhibitions from all over the place. Openings happen every month or so and are always a really fun way to get out and rub elbows with Charleston's artistic community and resident artists at redux. Artists studios are often open for a visit. Amazing murals mark the spot on St. Philip St. I haven't taken a class at redux myself, but friends who have always say good things. Thanks Redux for being here!

Charleston is truly fortunate to have a gallery like Redux. Fun shows and an excellent community. Paving the way for future artists and Charleston's up and coming contemporary art scene.
