In August the Vault Gallery will feature porcelain pieces by Pamela Lassiter. Pamela's work is inspired by the natural environment of her home on Hatteras Island. The body of work in this exhibition is a reflection of the life and patterns that she sees on the island. The various organic forms and processes develop from studying the oceans movements. Pamela is fascinated by the tide as it ebbs and flows creating dynamic patterns in the sand. These patterns are interpreted through a process of carving and adding coils to wheel thrown and altered or hand built forms.

WRV Outer Banks Pro Contest is from August 28th - Sunday, September 1st from 7 am - 4 pm.
Spectators are welcome to hit the sand and watch some of the top surfers in the region and the world compete in this late summer competition that promises to be one of the best live shows on the beach. Wave Riding Vehicles has stood for surfing since it was first founded in 1967, and this annual week-long surfing competition continues the celebration of this tradition in both its causal and competitive forms.
The competition takes place on the beach next to Jennette’s Pier in the town of Nags Head, which makes it easy to reach for visitors throughout the central Outer Banks. Vacationers who want to check out the action can take a beach chair or beach blanket to the sand to enjoy the display of amazing athletics and abilities, or can head to the pier itself for a bird’s eye view of the competition in the ocean waves below (There is a fee to enter the pier).
Why do one event when you can do two! We start the day with story time and follow up with some fun chalk art. Chalk is provided, you will provide the creativity. The event starts on the steps of the Paul F. Keller Meeting Hall with some stories provided by Island Bookstore or Ducks Cottage Coffee and Books. Then we will head over to the Town hall where you can show off your best chalk skills on the sidewalk squares around the building.
Be sure to bring some water with you as it does get hot!
