Welcome to The Irritable Pelican Artisan Gallery
At The Irritable Pelican, we celebrate the creativity of Tybee Island and the surrounding coast. Our gallery is a fun, quirky, and eclectic space filled with more than 3,500 unique works of art, handcrafted treasures, and one-of-a-kind keepsakes. From locals to island visitors, we invite everyone to explore the vibrant artistry that makes our community so special.
A Home for Local Artists
We are proud to feature the work of over 50 talented local artists and artisans. Every piece—from jewelry and paintings to pottery, clothing, and home décor—is made right here in the islands. Whether you’re searching for fine art, artisan jewelry, wearable designs, or gifts that capture the spirit of the coast, you’ll find something meaningful in our ever-changing collection.
The Irritable Pelican Artisan Gallery, Tybee Island
Our flagship location on Tybee Island is where it all began. With more than 3,500 eclectic pieces from over 50 local artists, this gallery is bursting with creativity and coastal charm. Visitors can explore fine art, artisan jewelry, handmade clothing, pottery, décor, and unique souvenirs that capture the spirit of the island. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a loyal local, the Irritable Pelican is a must-stop for discovering one-of-a-kind treasures.
Eye-Candy, St. Simons Island
Our St. Simons Island micro-gallery is nestled inside Eye-Candy at Redfern Village. Though smaller in scale, it’s packed with handcrafted items that embody the laid-back beauty of island life. From original artwork and jewelry to specialty gifts, this space lets you take home a piece of coastal creativity. It’s a warm, welcoming spot where visitors can experience the artistry of our makers in a more intimate setting.
Tabby Trading Company - Darien's Coastal Boutique, Darien
In the heart of historic downtown Darien, our micro-gallery joins forces with Tabby Trading Company to offer a coastal boutique experience unlike any other. Here you’ll find local art, handcrafted goods, and seaside-inspired décor that celebrate the natural beauty and culture of the Georgia coast. It’s a charming stop for travelers and locals alike, blending artisan creativity with the cozy feel of a small-town boutique.
Giving Back to the Community
Our story began just one month before a global pandemic, and thanks to the incredible support of locals and visitors, we’re still here and thriving. In gratitude, we’ve committed to giving back to causes close to our hearts, including The Children’s Fresh Air Home and The Tybee Turtle Project. We’ve also partnered with other local galleries and businesses to support additional community efforts, and we plan to continue these efforts for years to come.
A Safe & Welcoming Space
Your comfort and safety are important to us. That’s why we follow strict health and safety practices, including face coverings, sanitization, and reduced occupancy protocols, to ensure every visit is both safe and enjoyable.
