A Private Spring Salon on Sea Island: An Evening of Art, Beauty, and Connection

On Friday evening, April 17th, something rare unfolded on Sea Island.

Not simply an art show—but a moment.

An experience where art, architecture, music, and conversation came together in a way that felt both intimate and expansive. Hosted within a private residence overlooking the marsh at sunset, the evening embodied the essence of what I believe art should do: bring people together, elevate the spirit, and remind us of beauty in its highest form.

As guests arrived between 5:00 and 8:00 PM, they were welcomed into a curated environment—champagne and martinis in hand, the soft rhythm of live jazz by Pace Conner setting the tone, and a thoughtfully selected wine tasting paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres. 

The setting was intentional. Elegant, but not overdone. Sophisticated, yet warm. A true salon—where conversation flows as easily as the wine.

The Art: Amy Myers

At the center of the evening was the extraordinary work of Amy Myers.

Amy’s work is not simply seen—it is experienced.

Her pieces carry a quiet intensity, rooted in geometry, movement, and a sense of the infinite. They feel almost architectural in their precision, yet deeply emotional in their presence. Whether in her ethereal works on canvas or her groundbreaking laser-etched granite pieces, there is a tension between structure and fluidity that draws you in and holds you there.

One of the most striking elements presented—and one that captured the attention of nearly every guest—was her monumental granite work, a medium she has uniquely mastered. These pieces, created through CO2 laser drawing on polished black granite, reflect light in a way that feels almost alive. 

Her work has been exhibited in major institutions and resides in prestigious collections including the Guggenheim and Pérez Art Museum, placing her firmly in the conversation of important contemporary artists of our time. 

And yet—on Friday night—it lived not in a museum, but in a home.

Which is exactly the point.

The Experience: Fine Wine, Fine Art, Fine Homes

The evening was designed around a simple but powerful idea:

Fine Wine • Fine Art • Fine Homes

And it delivered.

Guests moved through the residence, discovering works in different settings—seeing firsthand how museum-quality art transforms a living space. Conversations sparked naturally. New collectors emerged. Relationships were formed.

There is something deeply personal about experiencing art this way. Without the barrier of a gallery, people engage differently. They ask questions. They linger. They connect—not just with the work, but with each other.

The Energy of the Evening

While not everyone who RSVP’d was able to attend, those who did created a vibrant and engaged atmosphere—exactly what a salon is meant to be.

There was curiosity.There was enthusiasm.And most importantly, there was genuine appreciation for what was being presented.

Moments like this are not measured solely by immediate sales—but by momentum. By the conversations that continue. By the follow-ups that happen. By the seeds that are planted.

And those seeds were very much planted Friday night.

A Continuing Invitation

For those who attended—and for those who were unable to join us—the opportunity does not end here.

The collection remains available for private viewing.

This is a rare moment to acquire significant works by an artist whose trajectory continues to rise. Amy’s pieces are not widely circulated, and once placed, they rarely return to the market. Her collectors hold them—and when they do sell, it is often at a premium.

Looking Ahead

This evening was not an endpoint—it was a beginning.

A continuation of a vision I am deeply committed to: bringing meaningful, museum-quality art into the heart of our communities, our homes, and our lives.

Sea Island is ready for this.

And Friday night proved it.
