A quaint, yellow cottage with pastel trim catches the eye of the passerby on Crocus Hill. The hundred year old Rose Cottage, once the home of Sea Captain Robert Benjamin Carter, now houses Loblolly Art Gallery.

Loblolly Gallery, previously located at the South Hill Plaza is a cooperative of six artists. Four of the artists live in Anguilla and two reside on the island for part of the year. They have different styles and use a variety of mediums but each piece conveys the artist's celebration of creativity and their love for Anguilla.

The gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Telephone 497-6006.
