Artists Association
The Hilton Head Plantation Artists Association is a non-profit organization that studies and promotes the visual arts with monthly educational programs, group painting sessions, workshops, and art exhibitions. The Association is open to all Plantation residents who are interested in the visual arts. Members work in a broad variety of media and range from beginners to accomplished professionals. Scheduled meetings generally have a speaker or demonstration concerning a wide variety of art-related topics. The Plantation House serves as a gallery for the artists -- most work hung in the Plantation House is for sale by contacting the artist. Informal opportunities to paint and exchange information with other artists occur every Wednesday from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM at the Dolphin Head Recreation building. The Plantation Artists hold an annual show in May at the Plantation House. Residents are urged to join and explore their creativity; every artist has to have a place to start and encouragement from other artists certainly helps!

Craft Workshop
HISTORY: This group was formed by Hilton Head residents more than 30 years ago. Initially, they were one of the craft groups that participated in an annual sale for the benefit of the Hilton Head Hospital. When the hospital became a “for-profit” company, the group subsequently donated its profits to a few different charities until 1996 when they voted to support Hospice Care of the Lowcountry. Since that time, profits totaling more than $161,000 have been donated to Hospice Care of the Lowcountry, a non-profit operation.
Currently, a group of Hilton Head Plantation residents, known as the Hilton Head Plantation Craft Group meets twice a month from January to mid-June. Meetings resume in mid-August until mid-October when the Annual Sale is held. There are about 25 members, and some extended family members. Dr. Barre Wright has very generously contributed beautiful handmade items for several years. Others, former residents and former members who have moved away, ship boxes of handmade sweaters and other items each year for our Sales.

Land Trust
In less than fifteen years, our Land Trust of Hilton Head Island has assumed a role of prominence and leadership in preserving the unique sense of beauty that distinguishes our Island. We are a reflection of all people who care about Hilton Head Island and its Lowcountry characteristics
In Hilton Head Plantation, we are fortunate to have two beautiful conservancies. One is Whooping Crane Conservancy consisting of 137 acres and the other is Cypress Conservancy consisting of 37 acres. Both of these areas have boardwalks throughout for easy viewing. The Land Trust manages these properties under a conservation easement for the Hilton Head Plantation Property Owners' Association. We also manage Northridge Tract, 66 acres in the center of Hilton Head Island that will eventually become a park open to all. Fort Howell, which is a five-acres Fort built by the Union Army in 1864 is also under our auspices.
The Land Trust can receive outright gifts of land or it can protect the land that is in the name of private owners by means of a conservation easement, which protects the land in perpetuity. A group of interested citizens manage the Land Trust. Membership is open to all citizens for annual dues.
