Janice Gray and Lindsey the Gallery Manager tag-teamed to present information about the Art League of Hilton Head Island.
The Mission of the Art League is to Inspire visual arts for the community and its visitors through exhibitions, education and partnerships.
There are two locations: the Gallery which is at the Arts Center where they have exhibitions; and the Academy, located at 106 Cordillo, where art classes and exhibitions are held. Membership in the League costs $55 a year which gets discounts on classes. Classes can cost from $40 to $500. They award scholarships to students so if you know any students that are planning to pursue an art degree, encourage them to find out about the scholarship program. The Art League has a unique fundraiser where "Every ticket is a Winner". Tickets cost $100 however every ticket holder receives an original work of art valued at at least $200. This year's event is held on November 9 and about half the tickets have already been sold. Gallery of Gifts has small items, holiday items, ornaments, and jewelry for sale. It is located inside the arts center and is open Monday through Saturday 10 - 4 and Sunday 12 - 4. Visit their website to see the schedule of events or to purchase a "Got Art" ticket. artleaguehhi.org
