Sunset River Marketplace showcases contemporary art, artisan jewelry, unique pottery, hand-blown glass, and more. So, if enjoying a Calabash-style seafood dinner is on your vacation agenda, you may want to combine it with a visit to a couple of local art galleries. Calabash Art GalleriesĬalabash is well known in our state for being the place to go when you want to eat the delicious, classic fried seafood. A variety of coastal Carolina artisans are showcased at this unique art gallery, ranging from books and cookbooks to jewelry, paintings, photography, and gifts. It’s home to the Museum of Coastal Carolina at 21 E Second Street, and Island Art and Books at 6885 Beach Drive SW. Ocean Isle Beach is located just to the south of Holden Beach (it’s the island you see from the West End of the island). If antiques are more your style, check out the local antique shops in our rainy day activities blog in case you have time to add a few stops to your art gallery itinerary. Mary will be glad to see you and, more often than not, invite you to sit with her as she paints and tells stories.
Located at 2431 Holden Beach Road SW, Mary’s is home to several buildings that she built using recycled wine bottles, including her main gallery where most days you will find her creating new art. Mary’s Gone Wild is the unique brainchild of NC visionary folk artist and Brunswick County native, Mary Paulsen. You can find them in their new location at 2842-A Old Ferry Road. A fun family stop is Vincent Van-Go (formerly Cappuccino by the Sea), where everyone in your family can choose a piece of unfinished pottery to paint and take home. Holden Beach Art GalleriesĪ few great art galleries are located just across the bridge from Holden Beach on the mainland in Supply. Some offer lessons and hands-on creativity, while others feature lovely local artwork you can purchase as a keepsake of your annual Holden Beach getaway. Just as you enjoy the beauty of our North Carolina barrier island, it’s not surprising that many artists find inspiration for their work here, too.Īs you relax and bask in all the good things during your week at the beach, we encourage you to visit the local art galleries. Some visitors find the beautiful variety of shells found during beachcombing adventures to be their vacation highlight, while others enjoy spending time birdwatching in the island marshes. Your favorite may be the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway as you crest the bridge, or perhaps you most enjoy the amazing sunrises and sunsets that can be enjoyed from the deck of your vacation rental.
