SEABROOK ISLAND IS A PRIVATE ISLAND COMMUNITY LOCATED 30 MINUTES OUTSIDE CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA. THIS BEAUTIFUL ISLAND FACES THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND IS SURROUNDED BY LOW COUNTRY MARSHES, CREEKS AND RIVERS TEEMING WITH WILD LIFE AND OFFERING UNFORGETTABLE VIEWS TO INSPIRE ANY ARTIST!
THE SEABROOK ISLAND ARTIST GUILD IS MADE UP OF ABOUT 100 ACTIVE MEMBERS INVOLVED IN ENJOYING AND ARTISTICALLY EXPRESSING THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY THAT SURROUNDS US EVERY DAY. WE TRY TO RE-CREATE THIS AWESOME BEAUTY IN MEDIA THAT INCLUDE OILS, WATERCOLORS, ACRYLICS, PASTELS, COLLAGE AND MORE. IN ADDITION THE GUILD HAS NUMEROUS TALENTED ARTISANS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF VARIOUS EXCITING CRAFTS (JEWELRY, ARTISTIC CUTLERY, FABRIC ART)
THE MEMBERSHIP COMPRISES ARTISTS AND THOSE INTERESTED IN THE ARTS AND RESIDING ON SEABROOK ISLAND, KIAWAH ISLAND AND JOHNS ISLAND., SOUTH CAROLINA.
The purpose of the Seabrook Island Artist Guild is to stimulate the creativity of its membership by providing them with opportunities to learn, exhibit their art and network with other artists. We also try to encourage interest in art within the community through outreach and local exhibitions, acquainting the public with the work of the members of the Seabrook Island Artist Guild,and supporting local art school programs. Several of our members have volunteered with Veteran organizations, Alzheimer patients, and others to bring them opportunities to draw and paint.
The Seabrook Island Artist Guild sponsors art exhibits, demonstrations, and workshops for its members each year.
The Guild offers year round opportunities for members to create and learn and advance their art! Free Art classes are offered frequently (see "Events") as well as major workshops held by both locally recognized artists and internationally famous artists chosen to address the wide variety of art challenges that so many of us face!
The annual membership fee is $35; members can exhibit, sell, and participate in any workshop for a reduced fee. To join the GUILD, contact Lee Fritz, VP for Membership and Treasurer ([email protected]) or any of the Board members below:
