News Flash: Treasures of Seabrook Island

The Seabrook Island Artist Guild (SIAG) is about to unveil something that is totally new on Seabrook Island — and it promises to be unforgettable.

All 115 members of the Guild have been invited — no, challenged — to create an original work of art for a bold new exhibition extravaganza titled:
“Treasures of Seabrook Island”. Each participating artist will submit an anonymous piece that captures what they believe is a true treasure of Seabrook Island — its beauty, spirit, wildlife, landscapes, people, or hidden gems.

The exhibition will feature a stunning variety of media including oils, acrylics, watercolors, sculpture, fiber art, inks, pottery, and more. The guild family anticipates there will be between 45 and 50 original pieces of truly unique art on display.

Upcoming Events at Charleston’s Historic Plantations

  • Sip & Stroll ◊ April 4 and April 25, 2026

Join us on Saturday, April 4 or Saturday April 25 from 2:30 to 4:30 pm for a unique afternoon at Drayton Hall, Charleston’s premier historic site (est. 1738) and named by Condé Nast Traveler as the Best Place to See in South Carolina. Stroll the beautifully preserved grounds with a glass of wine or beer in hand, enjoy live music from Wildflower Station and immerse yourself in the rich stories of the Lowcountry through our Landscape Audio Tour.

  • “One more Bowl, and Then?”: Punch Drinking in Colonial and Revolutionary America ◊ May 9, 2026

From the beginning of European colonization of North America in the 16th/17th centuries, alcoholic beverages for daily consumption, celebration, and ceremony were commonplace across all strata of society. Punch in particular became a favored drink in taverns and public houses as well as in the homes of the elite, and the materials associated with punch became a niche market for European and Asian ceramic producers.

Excavated punch bowls from Drayton Hall provide the background for the social history of punch and rum on the eve of and during the American Revolution, with an 18th century punch recipe for participants to sample, in addition to two rums typical of what would have been produced in the American colonies and West Indies.
