The Coastal Discovery Museum will celebrate the grand opening of their new location this weekend at Honey Horn on Hilton Head Island. As part of the 
the events scheduled will be the first art exhibit at the museum. The curators wanted an exhibit that reflected the culture of the area, but wasn't exclusive to the island.
“Artists Influenced by the Gullah Culture: 1907-2007″ is the first exhibit in the new Hilton Head Regional Healthcare Gallery in the Discovery House at Honey Horn. Work from local artisans will be displayed, intermingled with nationally-renown pieces collected from some of the top galleries in the state.
The public is invited to view the gallery as part of Saturday’s grand opening of the new Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn. The 1,000-square-foot gallery is one of the new ventures for the Coastal Discovery Museum, giving it a venue to host rotating art exhibits. Through February, the art gallery will house more than 40 works inspired by Gullah culture.
The gallery will change exhibits three to four times a year. Future plans include a juried art show titled, “Life on the May River,” which will be paired with an educational program. Following that, the gallery will host a show by Hilton Head’s Apple Pie Painters, who will exhibit their open-air painting of the Honey Horn landscape.
