Children's art from "Art To Go" ~ an outreach program funded by Gibbes, etc.

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 $1,200,000 for the Gibbes Museum of Art to help support traveling exhibitions and to fund art education projects in our community. During the past year, over $100,000 was donated to the museum to sponsor three exhibitions:

Willard Hirsch: Charleston’s Sculptor
Vibrant Vision: The Collection of Jonathon Green and Richard Weedman
Stephen Mueller and Carl Palazzolo:Spoleto Watercolors from the collection of David and Carol Rawle

We also offer continuing support of Art to Go, an outreach art education program taught on Johns Island by Gibbes Teaching Artists
