Sunset River Marketplace art gallery in Calabash, NC is excited to present Take a Little Coast Home With You, a collection of small coastal-themed paintings – especially for area visitors.  Works include seascapes, marsh scenes, beach people and other coastal images – each one small enough to transport home easily.The exhibition, which runs from August 1 through Sept. 9, features original works by 24 artists who have been invited to participate in the special event. There will be a reception to meet the artists on Thursday, August 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited and there is no charge.

According to owner Ginny Lassiter, “Visitors to the area have always played a major role in our gallery, but we’ve never developed an exhibition quite like this for them. The artists in this show are specifically working on canvases small enough to pop in your suitcase and take home with you. The pieces are beautiful and will help create wonderful memories of a trip to the Carolina coast.”
