About The Frank Stick Memorial Art Show
The annual show is held in memory of Outer Banks preservationist and artist Frank Stick, who was instrumental in having miles of the Cape Hatteras Seashore designated as the first National Seashore.
The Frank Stick Memorial Art Show is the longest running visual arts exhibit in Dare County. The exhibit goes on display every January at the DCAC Gallery. In 2017, the show was held at the DCAC Gallery for the first time since its inception 39 years ago.
Artists are encouraged to enter their most innovative work for the possibility of winning the distinctive Eure Best in Show Award, which is an ode to Glenn and Pat Eure for their many years of hosting the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show at Ghost Fleet Gallery.
The Frank Stick Memorial Art Show is open to Dare County Arts Council members and residents of Dare County age 18 and over.
97 artists participated in the 43rd Annual Frank Stick Show.
