I met Robert Lange at his gallery RLS in downtown Charleston. Every first Friday is the art night in Charleston. Unaware of the Charleston art night, I stumbled upon his gallery on the first Friday opening in October. The swing in the middle of the gallery caught my attention, as well as the two studios on site.
A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Robert visited Charleston after graduation and fell in love with the city. He decided to open a gallery in downtown Charleston, along with his wife Megan, whom he met at RISD. Last month, Robert just celebrated the 20th anniversary of RLS gallery.
RLS also has an Artist Residency Program that you may apply directly on their website.
