Art Gallery
The visual arts are in full swing at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Artists exhibit their work solo or in group shows. This includes folk working in fiber, clay, wood, metal, paint, pencil, pastel, photography, stone, mixed media and more.
Educational programming enhances many exhibitions and the visual arts partner with performance and literary arts to offer exciting collaborations. Annual shows include a quilt exhibition late winter that draws hundreds of fiber lovers. Receptions are a great time to meet the artists. Check the Calendar of Events for those dates and times. Visitors can purchase art and prints at most art gallery shows.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
