34th Annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show (Ghost Fleet Gallery)

January 28 - February 24
On display at the Ghost Fleet Gallery in Nags Head through February, the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show includes a wide variety of local fine art ranging from conceptual to realistic. Featuring all original work, including 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 28th from 6pm - 8pm. Full Story
