32nd Annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show
January 31 - February 26, 2010
The annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show exhibits a large collection of works by local artists. Paintings, drawings, printmaking, works in clay, glass, textiles, and other media will all be displayed. The show's name honors the renowned local artist and environmental crusader, Frank Stick, whose illustrations and paintings became famous during the first part of the twentieth century. Stick gained recognition as an illustrator for magazines such as Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal and Outdoor America. He is most known for painting hundreds of hunting and fishing scenes to illustrate outdoor and adventure stories. In addition to his contribution to the art world, Stick was a man of vision. After visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the 1920s on a surf-fishing trip, he became enamored with the region and its potential as a tourist destination. It was largely through Stick's efforts that the Cape Hatteras National Seashore was established as America's first national seashore.
Reception and Awards: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 from 6-8pm
at Glenn Eure's Ghost Fleet Gallery in Nags Head.
