Celebrate Ossabaw-inspired art at this free July exhibition. Bid online in our sixth annual auction to support programs on Ossabaw Island.

The online art auction supports the Ossabaw Island Foundation’s educational and cultural programming on Ossabaw Island. Browse and bid from anywhere.  Shipping is available in the USA.

For the sixth year, the Ossabaw Island Foundation is proud to partner with Georgia Southern University’s Gallery of Fine Arts on the Armstrong Campus for a July exhibition celebrating artwork inspired by time spent on Ossabaw Island.

We invite you to join us for two special, free events where you can experience the exhibition and connect with the artists:

  • Coffee & Donuts in the Gallery
    Thursday, July 9  | 9:00–11:00 AM
  • Artist Meet & Greet
    Thursday, July 23 | 4:00–6:00 PM

Both events are free and open to the public. The artwork will also be available for bidding through our online auction platform.

We are deeply grateful to the talented artists who have created and generously donated Ossabaw-inspired works for the 2026 auction and exhibition. The collection—featuring paintings, mixed media, and fine crafts—reflects both the diversity of artists drawn to Ossabaw and the island's richness.

Since 1998, the Ossabaw Island Foundation has welcomed more than 57,500 visits by individuals and groups engaged in natural, scientific, and cultural education, research, and study. Proceeds from this auction help make it possible for hundreds of people each year to experience Ossabaw—whether through a day trip to the island or programs offered on the mainland.

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the art, the artists, and the enduring inspiration of Ossabaw Island.
