Spring 2025 Installation: Aeronautical Sea Marks by artist Christina Lorena Weisner will be on display in The Dare Arts Courtyard. The installation will open at 6pm on Friday, March 7 and remain on display through May. This outdoor installation features several geometric structures made from lightweight, weather-resistant PVC pipe and deconstructed fabric from discarded beach umbrellas collected from local beaches by the artist. The cube-like structures vary in size, with some reaching up to eight feet. Their arrangement encourages viewers to move around and in between them, providing a dynamic experience of changing perspectives and spatial relationships within the courtyard. All of The Courtyard events are free, family-friendly and open to the public.

In March the Vault Gallery will feature paintings by Laron Stallings. Of Fur and Feather will be on display March 7-29, 2025 in our Vault Gallery. This show is in partnership with the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.

The Of Fur and Feather exhibit is inspired by the diverse ecology of eastern NC, and more specifically, the wildlife of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Through this body of work, Laron explores the unique connections of the wildlife that call this place home. Focusing on the red wolves, bears, and the many birds species of the region, the paintings move the viewer to consider the importance of these wild spaces.
