Gallery director Samantha Spalti said, “This show is a great example of how traditional and contemporary art work together. And I love how these artists have used blue in their work – sometimes a major color block and others a well-placed accent. Blue can bring a sense of calm to the viewer, or it can be bold and energetic. It’s all in the hands of the artist. I’m excited for the community to come and enjoy our Coastal Blues show.”

I look forward to seeing the exhibit “blue” ..I tell as many people as I can about your outstanding gallery. Living here, on the South Strand of Myrtle Beach,I tell visitors and when speaking to artists, who are not aware of your gem that you offer to the public and is merely less than 1 hr. away are anxious to drive there and see it.
