Master Artworks with a Twist

For only four days, Art League of Hilton Head will host a much-loved and anticipated alternate artistic reality—one in which Monet’s Lady on a Hill wears sunglasses, a Van Gogh countryside features a very modern putting green, and Whistler’s Mother sits in dour silence, enjoying a cocktail.

On Thursday, June 18, at 5:30 p.m., the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host a free public program with novelist Johnnie Bernhard, author of Sisters of the Undertow. Books will be available for sale and signing after the author's presentation. Weather permitting, this event will be held on the plaza in front of the Conroy Center at 905 Port Republic Street in downtown Beaufort. The author event will also be livestreamed on the Conroy Center’s Facebook page and made available on the Center’s YouTube channel afterwards.

Almost 100 members and guests of the Women’s Association of Hilton Head Island (WAHHI) participated in their first online webinar meeting in the organization’s almost 60-year history. New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe was the featured speaker. Monroe introduced her new release, “On Ocean Boulevard” in the webinar, as well as spoke of her other five beach house series books, her writing process, and her love of Loggerhead sea turtles.
