This Week on The OBX 

Thursday May 25th

Mollie Fearing Memorial Art Show
The 26th Mollie Fearing Memorial Art Show will be in The Dare County Arts Council Courtroom Gallery. The annual show is held in memory of Mollie A. Fearing, one of the founders of the Dare Arts, and features an eclectic mix of artwork. More than 40 years later, her vision, and that of our founders, remains strong in the organization. Mollie was a vital supporter and advocate of the arts until she passed away.

Eye See You
In May, The Dare County Arts Council Vault Gallery will feature fiber art by Cathy Spivey Mendola. Cathy’s fascination with the face, specifically the eyes, has been a focus of her beaded and embroidered art for some time. They say that faces are a mirror of the mind and that eyes are a window to the soul, which has been her inspiration to create these pieces.

Whimsical Woodworking
In June, The Dare County Arts Council Vault Gallery will feature woodwork by Tyson Andrews. When you enter Tyson Andrews’ Whimsical Woodworking expect to see mind-bending patterns and shapes that remind you of M.C. Escher and Alice In Wonderland. A combination of exotic and domestic hardwoods are used to make a variety of jewelry boxes, unique cutting boards, some epoxy work, and of course the grandfather clock!
