Marketplace said, "The gallery is very pleased to be featuring
Barbara this month. She has quite a following of collectors who will
be thrilled to see her newest works in one exhibit."
Sunset River Marketplace,
located on NC 179 in Calabash, opened its doors during the summer of
2002. Since then, the 10,000 square-foot gallery representing over
200 North and South Carolina artists has evolved into an art center
for the community. The gallery includes a classroom for workshops
and art classes for both adults and children, professional and
amateur. There are also two kilns onsite and a full-service framing
center. Gallery owners Joe and Ginny Lassiter regularly support the
community's nonprofit and charitable events. On November 19th of
this year, Sunset River Marketplace will once again host the 2nd
Annual Evening of Miniature Masterpieces fundraiser for the
Brunswick Arts Council.
