This year’s holiday art auction is more than a fundraiser. It is a living celebration of Savannah’s African American heritage. Each piece in this collection was created or contributed by artists who carry the stories of this community in their hands. Their work captures the rhythm of Gullah-Geechee traditions, the echoes of the Lowcountry, and the soul of those who came before us.

When you bid, you’re not just purchasing art. You’re investing in preservation, education, and access.

You’re helping us protect the Beach Institute and the King-Tisdell Cottage — two pillars of African American history that have stood as beacons of culture, resilience, and storytelling in Savannah for generations.

Your winning bid keeps these stories alive.

Your generosity ensures that future generations can walk through our doors and see themselves reflected in our exhibits, archives, and programs.

Bid with your heart. Give with intention.

Your contribution today becomes the legacy of tomorrow.
