 History of Sweetgrass Plaza

Originating in West Africa, the tradition of Sweetgrass Basket weaving has been part of the Lowcountry heritage for over 300 years. Because The Market at Oakland lies in the heart of the Sweetgrass Corridor, Sweetgrass Plaza was an idea of the developer, Tex Small, President of AVTEX Commercial Properties, Inc., designed to pay homage to the art form that has made this area so culturally rich (or culturally significant).  

With the help and support of the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Foundation, Mr. Small enlisted California sculptor Shirley McWorter-Moss to create “Winnowing Hands.” This bronze sculpture was unveiled in May 2008 and is dedicated to the preservation of the Sweetgrass basket weavers.
