Meet the Business Owner

Ginny L.

Business Owner

Ginny Lassiter was born and raised in Wilson, NC. She graduated from East Carolina University earning a B.S. degree in Art with an emphasis in Interior Design. She worked in commercial art & interior design in Richmond, VA before moving to Sunset Beach in 1979. She and her late husband and then her current husband Joe Lassiter owned and operated Kool-​A-​Brew Inc. a manufacturer/​screen printer of souvenir and advertising specialty items from 1979 – 2001.

In 2002 Ginny opened Sunset River Marketplace. The 10,000 sq. ft. art gallery showcases only North and South Carolina artists, with a full range of genres and media, including oil, pastel, watercolor, mixed media, pottery, glass, wood, metal, fiber, jewelry and more.

An artist herself, Ginny wanted to create an art hub that offered cultural events, classes, workshops, pottery kilns, gallery talks, and framing. She welcomes locals and visitors alike and invites you to experience this friendly eclectic gallery for yourself.
