Meyer Vogl Gallery is thrilled to kick off its 2024 calendar of fine art exhibitions at its downtown location. Each curated by Gallery Director Katie Geer, the shows will explore unexpected and visually exciting relationships between artists in the gallery’s robust roster. Sometimes showcasing new mediums or subject matters for the artists, the common thread is that these works delight and excite the viewer. Unless otherwise noted, shows will open during the Art Walks at Meyer Vogl Gallery, 122 Meeting Street.
Kathleen Jones and Glory Day Loflin: Joint Exhibition March 1 - 22
Opening celebration: March 1, 5 - 8pm
Kitchen Sink is a two-person exhibition featuring artworks by contemporary Southern female artists Kathleen Jones and Glory Day Loflin. Jones and Loflin work with the still life as subject matter, exploring the histories, mean ing, and arranging of objects collected and displayed in the home.
GOOD ON PAPER: Group Exhibition
April 5 – 26
Opening celebration: April 5, 5 - 8pm
Meyer Vogl Gallery invited 4 gallery artists – some who typically work on paper, and some who typically don't work on paper – to each create 4 works on paper for this group exhibition. All 16 paintings by Marissa Vogl, Marc Hanson, Christopher St. Leger and Kathleen Jones will be created in the same size and framed in white; this uniformity allows the artwork to shine.
Carlos San Millán Solo Exhibition
May 3 - 24
Opening celebration: May 3, 5 - 8pm
Spanish painter Carlos San Millán draws in art lovers with his depiction of light vs. dark, as well as his intentional but wild brushstrokes. The solo show Director Katie Geer has been dreaming of, she says, “Both his interior paintings and landscapes invite the viewer into a dream world, where untidy corners and overgrown gardens feel familiar in an enchanting (perhaps even a little haunting) way; a siren song.”
Beyond Time: Anne Darby Parker Solo Exhibition
May 23 (one night only), 5 - 8pm
In conjunction with Historic Charleston Foundation, this solo exhibition from locally beloved artist, Anne Darby Parker, will be hosted in a historic abandoned gas station on the corners of Ashley and Wentworth, recently purchased by the foundation.
Yellow Is. Group Exhibition
June 7 - 28
Opening celebration: June 7, 5 - 8pm
For this group show, Meyer Vogl is celebrating a hue that is often under played, and perhaps even a little misunderstood. Artists are invited to sim ply have fun with the color yellow – painters Marissa Vogl, Melanie Parke, and Nancy Hoerter, pencil artist Conchita Bardají, and glass artist Dylan Martinez are paying tribute to the color and its many shades, from ochre and amber to lemon and banana and cream.
MIDSUMMER Group Exhibition
July 26 – August 23
Opening celebration: A midday toast to the artists on Saturday, July 27
Much like summertime itself, we love an exhibition of new works with zero guidelines, directions or boundaries. “I’m a summer girl at heart, and I love bringing fresh new works into the gallery during the season,” says Katie Geer. New works by Anne Blair Brown, Susan Colwell, Andrew Portwood, Laurie Meyer, and Carrie Beth Waghorn are sure to brighten up the gallery.
Susan Altman Solo Exhibition
September 6 - 27
Opening celebration: Friday, September 6, 5 - 8pm
Local Charleston artist Susan Altman has been an integral part of Meyer Vogl Gallery for over 6 years, so this solo exhibition is long overdue. Katie Geer says it best, “She's part of our DNA as a gallery. And we've been through so much together -- the death of her husband, the love of her life; her personal health battles. Throughout it all, making art has helped her through. This show is one to watch."
DUET, III: Laurie Meyer + Marissa Vogl Joint Show
October 4 – 25
Opening celebration: Friday, October 4, 5 - 8pm
In what will be the third iteration of this collaborative exhibition, Meyer Vogl will showcase its two co-owner and “anchor” artists, Laurie Meyer and Marissa Vogl. Despite painting in very different styles, Duet, III will reveal just how perfect the partnership is between the gallery’s very own Meyer + Vogl.
Faces and Facades: Group Exhibition
November 1 – 22
Opening celebration: Friday, November 1, 5 - 8pm
Portraits of people and portraits of buildings have long been staple subjects in the gallery. While seemingly very different, faces and facades are one and the same—you never really know what is going on inside when looking from the outside. This exhibition will consist of intriguing new “faces” from artists Paul Ferrari, Diane Eugster, Mac Ball, and Aimee Erickson; and “facades” from artists Christopher St. Leger, Lori Putnam, and Shelby Monteverde.
SCAPES: Group Exhibition
December 6 – 23
Opening celebration: Friday, December 6, 5 - 8pm
Meyer Vogl Gallery is inviting all of the gallery artists to submit just one piece for this show, and to select a “scape” – be it a landscape or tablescape or cloudscape or cityscape or seascape or moonscape or roomscape or bodyscape or anything-you-can-think-of-scape.
Opening celebrations are free to attend. More information can be found at https://meyervogl.com/exhibitions.
