32nd Annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show
On display at the Ghost Fleet Gallery in Nags Head through February. Includes a wide variety of local fine art ranging from conceptual to realistic. Sculpture, painting, drawing, fiber, pottery and mixed media. The show is the longest running visual art exhibition in the county. Stick gained recognition as an illustrator for magazines such as Collier’s, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal and Outdoor America during the early part of the 20th century. 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. Open to members and residents. Cash awards. Opening Reception: Saturday, January 24, 2009 7-9 p.m.

12thAnnual Mollie Fearing Memorial Art Show
Features an eclectic mix of local art. On display at the Gallery at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Held in memory of Mollie Fearing, one of the founders of the root organization from which DCAC arose. In 1975 a group of Dare county residents met at the home of Mollie Fearing where they set about founding an organization that would introduce thousands of school children and adults to music, dance, theatre, painting, sculpture, poetry and literature. The organization would initially be called the Sea and Sounds Arts Council and later, the Dare County Arts Council. Mollie Fearing was elected president of the Arts Council in 1975 and was a vital supporter and advocate of the arts until the time of her death on September 3, 1997. Mollie’s contributions to the community were numerous, from serving as mayor for the Town of Manteo, to serving on the board of the Roanoke Island Historical Association, to her dedication to the arts. Mollie’s legacy in our community remains strong to this day. Open to members and residents. Cash awards. Opening Reception: Sunday May 3, 2009 4-6 p.m. Please log on to www.darearts.org or call 252-473-5558 for more information.
