Hot Time In The SUMMER!!


It's summertime on Tybee; the fish are jumpin' and the river is high... The beach is crowded, and the parking spaces are low! …And the people are here in droves! It's summer, and everyone wants to be at the beach! Our little 2 1/2 mile long, by 3/4 mile wide, island has definitely been re-discovered! Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, the Atlantic Beacon Gallery, and Hall of Frames custom framing, was always closed on Tuesdays; and we locked our doors promptly at 6PM during the summer - but those days are gone! The people are here, and they are strolling and shopping late into the evenings; so we’re here to to make their destination a little more pleasurable - albeit, culinary or visual art; everyone wants a little “taste” of the local fare!

SUMMER HOURS:
Open 7 Days a week;'

10AM -9PM Wednesday through Sunday, and
10AM - 6PM Monday and Tuesday

Our extended summer hours schedule makes it easy for any and everybody to come on out and for some great local art and gifts! Though our posted hours reflect a closing time of 9PM, it’s rare - if ever, that we actually close the doors before 10PM! Always delighted to see new and faithful patrons (season after season) for thirteen years, we never throw anybody out! And boy, our Artists are prepared; all 100 have genuinely been working long and hard to have great locally created art and gifts to tantalize and tempt; after all, we try hard to make it “SIMPLY IRRISTIBLE!”

The Atlantic Beacon Gallery truly has something for everyone; from great oil paintings by world renowned master impressionist, Marcos Blahove to locally created magnets, key chains, sharks tooth necklaces, and more! We are also very proud to now be the exclusive Tybee Island retailer for the Arthur Court line of Serveware. Arthur Court is well known as the successful California designer creating elegant serveware and decorative accessories inspired by nature. With over five hundred unique designs of excellent quality, Arthur Court has long been the leader in the alternative metal category.

The Atlantic Beacon Gallery, with in-house custom framing and fine art printing services by Hall of Frames, proudly represents 100 Local and Regional artists, creating in every medium; including twelve wall artists, ten of us are painters, and two photographers; Ten jewelers, seven potters, five stained glass artists, three sculptors, two mosaic artists, etc… And perhaps even a partridge in a “Palm” Tree! Ya’ll Come; You’re gonna love it!
