Coastal Heritage Society (CHS) is slated to host its annual fundraising event, ‘Art and Oysters’, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 26 at Pin Point Heritage Museum, located at 9924 Pin Point Avenue in Savannah. The event brings together some of the region’s most talented artists and highlights the historical culture of the Gullah-Geechee community of coastal Georgia. The event features a silent auction to showcase the original artwork of featured artists’ own stories of life on the coast and the deep-rooted traditions of the Lowcountry. 

Attendees of ‘Art and Oysters’ will also enjoy authentic local cuisine and an oyster roast. All proceeds from the event directly benefit CHS’ museums and mission of education and preservation in the community. Admission is $125 for non-members or $100 for CHS members. 

“The local artists featured at this event showcase the best of what our coastal community has to offer,” said Nora Fleming Lee, CEO of CHS. “We are most excited to bring the community together to celebrate art and the rich history of the area.”
