The Museum also houses the Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild Permanent Collection, a body of works the Guild collected in the years 1970 through 1980 by purchasing award winning pieces from its annual fall exhibition. The Guild donated that collection to the Museum when it opened in 1997. With approximately 150 current members, the Guild was founded in 1969 to encourage fine arts and crafts in the community. It meets the third Thur. of each month at the Guild's Art Gallery in Myrtle Square Mall at 7pm. Interested persons with questions can call Phyllis Dunn at 843/238-4628.
March 9 will be Free Sunday at the Museum for this exhibit when the public is invited to visit at no charge, and a free docent talk is provided for the exhibition as well as the Museum's permanent collection. The tour will be conducted by Bobby Lawson, a retired art instructor from Coastal Carolina University.
