Welcome
to Gibbes, etc.
Gibbes, etc., an organization of Kiawah Island women, is
dedicated to the support of the Gibbes Museum of Art. It was
founded in 2001 by four women who are experienced volunteers
and fundraisers in the Charleston arts community. Gibbes,
etc. offers its members a series of programs and art tours,
featuring speakers on various topics of current and
community interest. The organization holds two annual
fundraising events to benefit the museum: an evening of
dinners in private Kiawah homes, provided for members and
their guests, and the annual Kiawah Art and House Tour.
Since its inception, Gibbes, etc. has raised over $1,000,000 for
the Gibbes Museum of Art to help support traveling
exhibitions and to fund art education projects in the
community. In 2010 $100,000 was donated to the museum to
sponsor three exhibitions:
Face Lift: The Power of Portraits
Art of our Time: Selections from the
Ulrich Museum of Art (opened December 2010)
We offer continuing support to “Art to
Go”, an outreach art education program taught on Johns
Island by Gibbes Teaching Artists.
