The Moveable Feast: Beach/Kenny/Ketron/Malarich/ McMillan/Moore/Salmon (Sandy Island ... Forever) at Kimbel's, Wachesaw. Join the team of essayists, photographers, artists and editors to celebrate the completion of a three-year project to capture in words and images the world of Sandy Island, one of America's largest, undeveloped islands. Our intent was to provide a satisfying armchair appreciation of what has been preserved and why it matters. Limited capacity, social distancing observed, masks required. $30. Call 843.235.9600 or www.ClassAtPawleys.com.

The book includes a general history of the island’s plantations researched and written by Susan Hoffer McMillan with vintage and current photographs, the role of the Huntingtons of Brookgreen Gardens by Robin R. Salmon with vintage photographs, Vennie Deas Moore's snapshot of Sandy Island in 1997, and Virginia and Dana Beach's recounting of the conservation efforts that culminated successfully that same year. The concluding chapter is a pictorial natural history tour of the island, with original images by Anne Swift Malarich and other photographers, illustrating all that has been preserved. The cover and each chapter opening features one of artist Maura Kenny's paintings from her exhibit “Where the Rivers Flow,” opening Sept. 24-Dec. 20 at the Franklin G. Burroughs and Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach. For information about the exhibit, www.MyrtleBeachArtMuseum.org.

Sandy Island ... forever is available at the Myrtle Beach Art Museum, Brookgreen Gardens' Keepsakes, Art Works in the Litchfield Exchange, Litchfield Books, The Original Hammock Shop, My Sisters Books, and the Rice Museum. The book sells for $40; proceeds after printing expenses will assist the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge in the maintenance of service vehicles on the island.
