Who is Mollie?

Thirty-three years ago, 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.

Dates to submit artwork for the Mollie Fearing Memorial Art Show are April 30 and May 1 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Gallery at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Artwork must to be picked up on May 28, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. To obtain a call for entry, please call DCAC at (252) 473-5558.
