Exciting Art Event Coming to Columbia!
Columbia is buzzing with excitement as we gear up for an art-filled evening just around the corner! On Thursday, November 21, Rob Shaw, a proud Gamecock and talented local artist, will be hosting an open house and reception at his gallery. It’s the perfect chance to dive into the beautiful world of art and maybe even snag a unique piece to brighten up your home, just in time for the holidays!
Meet the Artist
Rob Shaw hails from the heart of Columbia, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in studio art from the University of South Carolina. With his work showcased in private collections across the United States and even in Europe, Rob has made a name for himself in the art world. But, in a twist of fate that brings it all back home, he opened his gallery right here in Columbia! After moving to a fantastic new location at 2123 Park Street—just off Elmwood Avenue—in April of this year, Rob has created a cozy and inviting space for art enthusiasts.
What’s Coming Up?
The open house will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., promising an evening filled with delightful art and tasty treats. Guests can nibble on hors d’oeuvres and sip on beverages while exploring Rob’s latest collection of paintings, all of which are up for grabs! Whether you’re an avid collector or just looking to add a little color to your living room, there will surely be a piece that catches your eye.
Rob’s Latest Works
What can you expect to see? Rob’s new series of paintings revolves around the stunning City of Columbia and the beautiful South Carolina coast. Though he has been experimenting with acrylics lately, this show is a special one, marking a return to his striking large-scale oil paintings. Fans of his earlier work will be thrilled to see this revival!

Getting to the gallery is a breeze! Guests can park on the street or in the nearby Village Church lot, making it easy for everyone to swing by.
