Past and Present of Charleston, South Carolina’s Fine Art Market

Over the past ten years, the Charleston Fine Art Dealers’ Association (CFADA) has grown from just a handful of founding members to 13 member galleries that helped transform Charleston’s art market. Adhering to standards of professionalism, CFADA member galleries represent a diversity of fine art and talent; this fine balance of history and tradition combined with contemporary and modern pieces creates a unique art scene in Charleston. New and modern rub shoulders with the traditional; the appreciation of history allows for development and growth in a new direction. CFADA will celebrate its 10th anniversary this November with the Charleston Fine Art Annual.

Charleston has had a long lasting love affair with the arts. As early as 1708, the first documented professional artist in the United States, Henrietta Johnston, arrived in Charleston. As a widow, she supported her family by creating pastel portrait commissions. William Aiken Walker was a Charleston born artist and in the early 20th century, Charlestonian Elizabeth O’Neill Verner, who studied all over the world, became well know for her etched and pastel scenes.
