Light and Life: Scenes of the Lowcountry
This month’s concurrent solo exhibition features a collection of paintings created intuitively from impressions and memories rather than photos. Kathryn Parker’s works convey what calls to her heart, and in If Color Could Talk, Would it Move? Would it Walk? artist Jennifer Kirk Hamilton presents acrylic and oil paintings inspired by the banal task of dog walking.
Through June 30. Gallery hours vary. Free. Park Circle Gallery. 4820 Jenkins Ave. North Charleston. northcharleston.org
Shrek Rave
Music Farm is hosting a Shrek-themed rave this weekend because … well, why not, we guess. That’s right, the Shrek craze isn’t over yet, not if nostalgia-driven millennials have anything to say about it. Dress up as your favorite green ogre, or a donkey, or a gingerbread man, and get ready to party. This event is for individuals ages 18 and older. Just bear in mind: It’s dumb. Just come have fun. Who cares? Cool is dead.
June 23. 9 p.m. Tickets start at $15. Musc Farm. 32 Ann St. Downtown. musicfarm.com
