Help SOBA Find Its Forever Home

For decades, SOBA has been the Creative Heart of Old Town Bluffton.

Our beloved gallery and art school have nurtured artists, inspired visitors, and kept Bluffton’s artistic spirit alive. 

Our gallery is being sold but we are excited to move into a new temporary location this spring. SOBA is committed to securing a permanent home.

Home for the Arts

We are launching a Capital Campaign to find a Forever Home where art, education, and community can thrive for decades. A Forever Home means stability for SOBA and its artists, continued arts education for all ages, a welcoming cultural gathering place, and a lasting investment in Bluffton’s creative legacy.

Every Gift Matters

Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to a secure future for the arts in Bluffton.  If you believe in the power of creativity…If you want Bluffton’s artistic energy to remain right here in our community…Join us.
