The HHP Artist Association is a dynamic group of 2D and 3D artists, such as painters, photographers, sculptors, pastel artists, glass and jewelry artisans. Our shared interests and desire to learn is the common bond blending beginners through accomplished professionals.
Our exhibiting artists decorate the Plantation House and POA four times a year with our work, which is for sale. We offer an Art Market where our artists show and offer a larger collection of their artwork for sale. It’s a great opportunity for HHP residents and their guests to meet the artists and purchase original pieces of art for their homes.
Wednesday mornings, the painters gather at Dolphin Head Rec Center to paint, create, and offer support to each other. You are invited to drop by between 9:30 to 12:30 to observe or join in.

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 $250,000 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 Crafters 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. Others, former residents and former members who have moved away, ship boxes of handmade sweaters and other items each year for our sales. The crafters hold two sales a year. A spring sale held at the Plantation House and a fall sale held outside the Plantation at Christ Lutheran Church.
We now have an acoustic spinoff group that meets on various days at the Plantation House for those who enjoy playing soft rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, and standards. Contact Carol at carolkajano@gmail.com for more information, and to gain access to our current acoustic song list and schedule.

Plantation Paddlers Kayak Club is for Hilton Head Plantation owners and residents, and is open to all levels of kayakers.
Monthly meetings will sometimes be informational presentations, trip planning sessions, or meet and greet socials. When we do trip planning, we break into small groups and plan details of upcoming trips, learning from each other and using Internet planning resources. OR, we may have planning sessions to cover general discussion issues and upcoming activities.
Kayak Outings might be meet-up paddles suggested by individual members or might be club-arranged trips which take us to places as close as our own backyard marshes and creeks as well as lakes and creeks within a couple of hours of hours of home. Some trips even lead us to wrap up the time with happy hour or lunch! Most trips will be BYO equipment, and some trips will have the opportunity for those who need to rent to join in.
Training Session opportunities are available for beginning through intermediate paddlers. First timers who have never been on the water can attend an INTRO class, and those who may have some paddling experience but want guided instruction for effective, efficient, and safe paddling can participate in classes for Basic Paddle Skills, Rescue Skills, and Maneuvering Skills.

In less than 15 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.
