The show honors Frank Stick, a well-known illustrator for Field and Stream, Outdoor America, Colliers, Sports Afield and The Saturday Evening Post. Stick moved to the Outer Banks in 1929 and put his work aside until his later years when he returned to painting. He worked to preserve the Outer Banks coastlands and was instrumental in having miles of Cape Hatteras Seashore designated as the first National Seashore. His influence on the Outer Banks as a preservationist and artist cemented his lasting legacy as one of the most important figures of the 20th century in Dare County.
