A Very Special Art Gallery
Showcasing only artists from the two Carolinas, this eclectic gallery boasts an amazing offering of clay art and pottery; oil paintings, watercolors, mixed media, pastels and acrylics; plus award-winning metalworks, wood pieces, hand-blown glass, fiber art, artisan-made jewelry and more.
Since opening in 2002, Sunset River Marketplace has become a popular destination for visitors, a gathering place for artists and a center of the community.
Located onsite are a pottery studio, complete with two kilns; a custom master framing department; and art classrooms for workshops and ongoing instruction.
Please stop by for a cup of gourmet coffee or tea, or enjoy a glass of wine at one of the bistro tables. Or better yet, carry it with you as you meander through this warm comfortable space.
