Each year, Sunset Vision picks a project or two to support from the proceeds of the art show and other fundraising efforts throughout the year. Thanks to your support, Sunset Vision is able to purchase 2 gifts for the Town of Sunset Beach this year.

Living Shoreline Interpretive Sign
Working with the Town of Sunset Beach on the design, Sunset Vision purchased this interpretative kiosk, soon to be installed at the Sunset Beach Town Park, to educate park visitors about the living shoreline recently constructed at Mary’s Creek in conjunction with North Carolina Coastal Federation to protect the park against erosion.

Beach Accessible Wheelchairs
The Town of Sunset Beach currently has a handful of beach wheelchairs that our citizens and visitors with disabilities can rent for a nominal fee so that they can enjoy our beautiful beach. Unfortunately, some of the current chairs are outdated and are constantly in the shop for repairs. Sunset Vision has purchased 4 of these brand new chairs for the Town. Each chair features heavy duty wheels, non-corrosive plastic bearings, 2 swivel and 2 rigid wheels, padded cushion seat, user-friendly folding footrest, and an umbrella.

This year’s art show runs from Thursday, June 20th to Saturday, June 22nd. Proceeds from ticket sales, art purchases, and beer and wine sales at the show all go towards the purchase of these two gifts. We have our largest show to date, with 59 artists and 121 pieces of art! Come support the artists in our community, and help us continue to buy gifts for the Town of Sunset Beach! Tickets are still available for the Friday evening fundraising reception.
