The group, over the October Long Weekend at the Ulladulla Civic Centre, organised a fundraising event to help people who had lost their homes in the summer's bushfire crisis.
Appeal committee members, along with two Rotary Club of Milton-Ulladulla members, met for what will be their last meeting and to talk about just how well the appeal went.
It looks like the final fundraising tally will reach the $30 000 mark.
"Over $26,000 has been raised by the sale of donated artworks and if we add the earlier exhibition at Ivy Hill in March we have reached over $30,000," event organiser Susan Curran said.
"Most of this money is being distributed directly to families, nominated by the artists, who lost their homes in the fires.
"Two important members of the Coastal Creative Committee, Amber Hansen and Jan Huon were not able to come to our final gathering but it was great to celebrate such a successful endeavour together."
The Rotary Club of Milton-Ulladulla, Milton Public School, Treading Lightly and the Ulladulla Resource Centre will also receive funds to help fire victims.
