SUMMARY:Gullah Celebration at 30: Posters from the Archive
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Discovery Museum and NIBCAA Present Gullah Celebration at 30: Posters from the Archive \nThe Coastal Discovery Museum\, a Smithsonian Affiliate\, in partnership with the Native Island Business and Community Affairs Association (NIBCAA)\, presents Gullah Celebration at 30: Posters from the Archive\, on view from January 10 through March 8\, 2026\, in the museum’s Sea Island Gallery. \nThe exhibition is part of the 2026 Hilton Head Island Gullah Celebration\, a month-long series of events honoring the cultural heritage of the Gullah Geechee community. The public is invited to a reception at the museum on Thursday\, February 5\, from 5–7 pm. \nMarking the festival’s 30th anniversary\, the exhibition features more than 20 posters\, including the first poster by Joe Pinckney and the 2026 poster by Amiri Farris. \n“It’s an honor to collaborate with NIBCAA on this exhibition of posters by important regional artists\, including Jonathan Green\, James Denmark\, and Diane Britton Dunham\,” said Elizabeth Greenberg\, Director of Exhibitions at the Coastal Discovery Museum. “Bringing these posters together for the first time\, you can see different artists’ designs and themes for the Gullah Celebration over the years.” \nAngela Dore\, NIBCAA’s curator of the exhibit and Director of Experiential Learning at the Penn Center National Historic Landmark District\, noted the importance of documenting the annual celebration through visual art. “Each poster tells a story about the spirit of the Gullah Celebration and the need to preserve Gullah culture.” \nThis year’s poster by Amiri Farris will be available for purchase\, giving visitors an opportunity to take home a piece of the festival’s history. \nFounded in 1996\, the Hilton Head Island Gullah Celebration was created to honor\, preserve\, and share the cultural heritage of its Native Islanders. Each year\, the Gullah Celebration commissions an original poster\, turning visual art into a living chronicle of tradition\, creativity\, and community pride.
