2022 Entertainment
The Mosaic Steel Orchestra from Hampton, Va will headline Artrageous, with dynamic steelpan entertainment to be performed by a diverse group of children and adults. Also performing are Donna Roark’s Shadow Players with Drama Mama and Atlantic Dance, as well as students from Ascension Music Academy, the Mustang Outreach Program and Leslie Erickson’s music school.
Magician The Impossible Chris will be a roving performer at Artrageous, a nod to the event’s 2022 theme, The Magic of Art.

Artrageous was started in 1989. The annual, free community event brings families together to paint, sculpt, dance, sing and be creative.
Artrageous is organized and staffed by volunteer artists, musicians, crafters, dancers, writers, photographers and other creative people who dedicate their time and energy to the event each year.
Proceeds from Artrageous benefit DCAC cultural arts programming and the Artrageous Youth Scholarship Fund, which awards one scholarship to a senior at each Dare County High School.
