Oriental’s History Museum presents a retrospective of the artwork of Lucille Styron Truitt. Some pieces will be available for sale.

Lucille was a self-taught artist who began painting in the 60s. She also owned ‘The Old Store’ with her husband – the inspiration for today’s Ol’ Front Porch Music Festival.

For over 40 years, Lucille painted local landscapes, fishing vessels, harbors, and the coastal fishermen at work. Mayor Sally Truitt Belangia, Lucille’s daughter, will be on hand Saturday, greeting visitors and answering questions about Lucille and her painting career.

Lucille’s work will be on display through January 27, as the museum’s Fall Special Exhibit.

The Oriental History Museum is at 802 Broad Street. Hours are: Friday 11-3 and Saturday 1-4. Admission is always free, donations gratefully accepted. For more information about the museum and this exhibit contact us: orientalhistorymuseum@gmail.com
