An art exhibition spotlighting the connection between art and nature. This unique event – the first ever at the park — will be located inside the Jockey’s Ridge State Park’s Visitor Center and will showcase approximately 20 regional artists in a range of mediums and styles.

All art will be for sale and a portion of the proceeds benefits Friends of Jockey’s Ridge. The mission of the Friends of Jockey’s Ridge is to support, protect, and promote Jockey’s Ridge as a significant geologic and cultural feature of the Outer Banks. The Friends group helped to fund over 400 educational programs at the park last year, supported facility updates, and continued to be a leader in the conversation about protecting and preserving Jockey’s Ridge. Artists include Mark Brothers, Marcia Cline, Rick Nilson, Taylor Williams, Holly Nettles, Matthew Grimes, Brad Price, Jill Block, Fen Rascoe, Jacqueline Perry, Megan Rubino, Lyn Jenkins, , Mojo Collins, Billy Moseley, Larry McCarter and more.

There will be an opening reception Thursday, April 17th at 6:00 pm at the Jockey’s Ridge State Park Visitor Center Community Room and the show will run through Mother’s Day, May 11th.

Please come out and enjoy the artwork and the park!
