“Golden Hour” by Robyn Scott is the first exhibit in the 2026 Rotating Art Show series. The exhibit will be on display in the first floor conference room of the Town Hall and open from 9:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from January 30-April 23, 2026. Golden Hour is a love letter to the Carolina coast, where the light hits Mother Earth with a gentle glow leading into the peaceful night sky. This collection is meant to celebrate the warm hug offered by our beautiful ocean as we drive up and down the coastal roads, exploring the many beaches and seaside shops. Many of the works feature scenes from Corolla, in particular, some of my favorite hidden soundside spots and stretches of the beach in the offseason.

Come to the Animals in Art opening reception at Seaside Art Gallery on February 5 from 5–7 p.m. Sip, stroll, and enjoy incredible artwork created in support of needy animals. A portion (10%) of each sale benefits the OBX Coastal Humane Society. This event is FREE and open to the public.

Every purchase helps support working artists in the community.
