Art Exhibition

​

From November to December, our Courtroom Gallery will feature 26 commissioned pieces from the private collection of descendent, historian, and researcher Joan Collins.

 

Each piece in the exhibit tells part of the story behind the life of Collins' father Herbert M. Collins, who was the last surfman at the historic Pea Island station, and her family's history on Roanoke Island.

​

Commissioned artwork by the late John de la Vega, Jasmin Miller, and Jas Jeffress will be part of the exhibit alongside other treasured family pieces. The collection will include works in charcoal, oils, acrylics, photography, and collage.  

 

The exhibit and the speaking event in December (more information below) are part of the ALL OF US program, which illuminates the stories of the diverse communities in Eastern North Carolina.​​
