COASTAL HERITAGE SOCIETY HOSTS ANNUAL ART AND
OYSTERS EVENT – MAR. 21
SAVANNAH, GA – Jan. 23, 2024 – Coastal Heritage Society (CHS) will host their annual “Art and Oysters” event from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, March 21 at Pin Point Heritage Museum, located at 9924 Pin Point Ave in Savannah. The former factory has been transformed into an educational center for visitors to learn about the Gullah/Geechee culture authentically and directly from residents who grew up in the small, close-knit community.
Guests spend an evening at Pin Point Heritage Museum with the region’s most popular artists, delicious food, and beautiful views of the Moon River. Art & Oysters shares elements of Gullah/Geechee culture through food, music, and art, while proceeds from the event support the Museum. The silent
art auction features 10-15 artists who build a unique narrative through their works about life on the coast and Gullah/Geechee culture. Tickets for this event are $75 for CHS members and $100 for nonmembers and sponsorship levels begin at $500.
“Pin Point is one of the last Gullah/Geechee communities still inhabited by descendants of the Freedman who founded it and their history is told through Pin Point Heritage Museum. Art & Oysters is vital to the museum’s future and this enticing fundraiser event is one that the community will not want to miss,” said Nora Lee, CEO of CHS.
