Although they’ve been open for about two months, Islands Art and Book Store just officially opened for business with their grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 13th!
Island’s Art and Book Store features an extensive collection of works by premier local artists and photographic prints at affordable prices. The store focuses on local art, artists, writers, jewelry, pottery and just about anything local! The store aims to bring out the best this area has to offer and bring it to the public at great prices.
The store, which is part gallery and part store, has both framed original art and prints. All prints are done by a relatively new printing process called Giclee printing (pronounced gee-clay). Giclee prints are of the highest quality using archival inks and the highest quality materials.
The Giclee’ process offers perhaps the highest degree of accuracy and richness of the color palate of all the reproduction techniques available today
At Islands Art and Bookstore, you’ll find a wide selection of high quality Giclée Prints by local artists including: Virginia “Bunny” Lauzon, Miller Pope and renowned nature photographer Ken Buckner.
The store also promotes numerous local writers and local history books by writers Jacqueline DeGroot, Tom Rieber, Miller Pope and others.
Islands Art and Books Store is Located in Beach Drive Center at 6885 Beach Drive (Hwy 179) between the islands of Sunset Beach, NC and Ocean Isle Beach, NC. For more information or directions call 910-579-7757
