As much as Jasper loves the dynamic and innovative, he loves continuity and tradition as well — especially when the tradition being preserved is all about friendship, menfolk, and art. That’s why we look forward every year to the Winter Exhibition at Vista Studios Gallery 80808 which features the work of Stephen Chesley, Mike Williams, David Yaghjian, and Edward Wimberly — four buddies, and four outstanding artists.
In its 12th year, the Winter Exhibition will run from Friday, January 27th until Tuesday, February 7th — the opening reception is Friday night from 6 until 9.

For more on what to expect this year, read the quartet’s statement below.
Stephen Chesley, Mike Williams, Edward Wimberly, and David Yaghjian are friends and full-time artists living and working in South Carolina. For the past 12 years they have convened at Gallery 80808 in January with a selection of work from the course of the past year to hang an exhibition. This exhibition began as a holiday social where we would get together with our friends and collectors to catch up and look at examples of our production from the previous year. Each of these artists have worked diligently throughout their careers to create artwork that is distinctively their own.
Hope to see you Friday night – Gallery 80808 – Lady Street – Columbia.
