Some of the area’s leading artists will be participating in the Sea Islands Chamber of Commerce’s 12th Annual Art Walk at Bohicket Marina on Saturday, April 16, 2022. This year’s line-up of juried artists includes Kellie Jacobs, Jennifer Black, Sandra Roper, Bob LeFevre, Tina Mayland, Madeline Dukes, Colleen Wiessmann, Gary Kunkelman, and Lisa Willits.
Each of the featured artists is well known throughout the region and looks forward to the chance to see one another, as well as followers of their work. The show, which is always held the day before Easter, has increased in popularity over the years.
This year’s Art Walk will be held from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm in the parking lot (of the former NV Realty) at the entrance to Bohicket Marina. The artists are housed under one big tent, and the event is open to the public. Each artist will be displaying his or her own work, and all pieces are for sale. Some of the artists will be painting live, so it’s a great opportunity to meet them and see their creative process in action.
Mark your calendars for April 16, the day before Easter. There’s no better way to spend a Saturday than looking at amazing art in a beautiful setting. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Karen Thompson and Tina Mayland work together to set up and promote this event each year. To learn about Sea Islands Chamber of Commerce, visit its website.

Tidelines learned recently that there was some concern in our community about changes at Bohicket Marina. We thought you would appreciate hearing from the new owner at Bohicket Marina directly. His letter is below.
Dear Seabrook friends and neighbors: Greetings from Bohicket Marina! Our team has been hard at work throughout the spring season getting the marina in “ship-shape”, and we are looking forward to a great Memorial Day weekend on the water! As you may have heard, the marina was recently approached by a local “watersports” business who had operated in years past at Bohicket, and who were hopeful to re-engage to be a part of this “new chapter” for Bohicket that will bring new life into the marina. Prior to formalizing any agreement, our ownership recently became aware of a significant sentiment from the community that the particular operations proposed are not fully in keeping with the delicate balance the stakeholders along the waterfront have worked hard over many years to achieve. Thus, as new owners of Bohicket, we did not hesitate to make the decision to stand shoulder to shoulder with our neighbors on this issue, and we notified the watersports business that we would not be willing or able to host their operations. Despite being prepared to open on short notice, the business owners accepted that times have changed since they last operated in this area, and they have agreed to move on. They were extremely professional and honorable despite their disappointment, and we do wish them the very best in all of their future endeavors. Seabrookers can rest easy that we will always do our best to support our neighbors! We hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day holiday, and we look forward to seeing you on the waterfront soon! Mike Shuler Owner Bohicket Marina & Market

Bohicket Marina & Market has recently been acquired by locally owned and operated Bohicket Creek Investors LLC, led by principal and managing partner Mike Shuler.
Shuler is manager and principal investor of 32 North, a Charleston-based private investment firm specializing in acquisition, development, and management of core commercial real estate assets, including vertical integration of operating businesses. Strategic partner subsidiaries include Colony Commercial Real Estate and King Street Hospitality Group.
When asked about the new acquisition, Shuler stated that “having spent our formative years between the beaches of Camp St. Christopher and the shores of Bohicket Creek, we are intimately familiar with the unique opportunity we have, as well as the inherent responsibility to maintain Bohicket as a place that is deserving of the natural beauty of its surroundings. As new owners, we are honored to have the opportunity to be faithful stewards of such an important part of the Seabrook community for many years to come.
“Our long-term vision for Bohicket Marina & Market includes executing a substantial improvement and re-investment strategy with the goal of dramatically elevating the marina, operations, and the commercial properties to a truly world-class standard for all to enjoy.
“Our team is uniquely qualified to make our vision a reality, and we look forward to being a long-term asset to our friends and neighbors in the Seabrook Community.”
