Sandpiper Gallery

Specialties

Sandpiper Gallery off the coast of Charleston on Sullivan’s Island, and sister gallery Edward Dare in Charleston, SC present fine art in two uniquely lowcountry venues. Whether you prefer to browse beautiful fine art in a casually elegant seaside gallery or in the charming atmosphere of historic Charleston, each gallery features an extensive variety of fine art including landscape, figurative, architectural & still life paintings plus exquisite pottery, photography, jewelry, unique works in wood, glass & metal plus bronze sculpture — all by some of the most sought after artists in the low country and accomplished artists from across the nation. Visit us these galleries to see fine art that celebrate the colorful tapestry of the southern coastal culture — crashing waves, lush and steamy marshes, still lifes of camellias & oyster shells, coastal wildlife and sensitive yet powerful portraits of the South.

History

Established in 2001.

When Mark and Julie Sweat first saw the Sullivan’s Island space that they would transform into their casually elegant Sandpiper Gallery, the windows were boarded up, half the roof was missing, and the inside was full of mud and little creatures — all courtesy of Hurricane Hugo.

Ten years later, Sandpiper Gallery has become a center of the art community and is home to nationally renowned and highly sought after local artists. Enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the nearby restaurants and then satisfy your soul in this casually elegant seaside gallery with their intriguing selection of Fine Art and American crafts. When visiting Charleston make sure you take time to ride out to Sullivan’s Island, shake the sand out of your shoes and experience a gallery like no other.
