The Outer Banks is best known for gorgeous beaches and great seafood, but there is also a thriving OBX art community. There are a wide variety of local artists, an endless supply of gorgeous scenery and natural inspiration, and a number of art galleries.
One gallery in particular, the Seaside Art Gallery, is well known for its wide variety of pieces and an extensive collection of local and master artists. Seaside Art Gallery exhibits the work of local and contemporary artists, as well as a wonderful selection of art by such masters as Picasso, Chagall, Whistler, Icart, Renoir and many others. Sculpture, porcelain and art glass by Hummel, Staffordshire, Tiffany and others are represented. As well as a fine selection of estate jewelry. Since the early 1980’s, a major feature of Seaside Art Gallery has been their large collection of original animation art by such studios as Disney, Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, United Features Ltd., and other animation studios.
In addition to a large collection of beautiful art, Seaside Art Gallery has a large affinity for animals. For the entire month of February Seaside Art Gallery is holding its Second Annual Animals in Art fundraising event. 10 percent of proceeds from the sale of any item featuring an animal at the gallery will benefit the Outer Banks SPCA. The event displays hundreds of original works of art featuring animals in all art forms. The event will feature a wide variety of art mediums, anything from jewelry to paintings, and will feature a wide variety of nationally renowned artists. The Outer Banks SPCA serves the OBX community by providing shelter and care for lost domestic animals. This show is free of charge and open to the public. You are invited to come join the Outer Banks SPCA at a free reception at the Gallery from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 5. Call Melanie Smith at 252-441-5418 1-...
