Fripp Island Art Guild Legacy Gift Donation
Honor Someone You Love. Inspire an Artist of Tomorrow
Join your neighbors in creating a lasting tradition on Fripp Island. The first 25 Legacy Gifts will be recognized as members of the Founding Legacy Circle.
The Fripp Island Art Guild Legacy Gift Program offers a meaningful way to celebrate the life of someone who has touched your life while helping support the arts on Fripp Island.
With a $250 Legacy Gift, a permanent tribute will be created honoring the individual(s) of your choice. All honorees will be permanently recognized with a permanently engraved brass plaque on a commemorative bench.
Each Legacy Gift will be permanently recognized on the Fripp Island Art Guild Legacy Recognition Plaque. This lasting tribute celebrates the individuals whose lives and stories continue to inspire creativity in our community.
Legacy Gifts help support important Fripp Island Art Guild initiatives including:
- Awards for the Annual Juried Art Exhibition
- Memorial Art Awards honoring loved ones
- Scholarships for local high school artists
- Community art events, workshops, and programs
Through this program, your tribute becomes part of a lasting legacy that supports the arts for generations to come.
The bench will be displayed at the Reflections of Fripp Art Show in June, where the first group of honorees will be recognized.
Deadline: May 18 to be included in the first group of plaques and honored at the Art Show.

Who Might You Wish to Honor?
