Located on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, Dare County Arts Council is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to encouraging the arts in Dare County through advocacy, enrichment and opportunity.

Our Gallery is located at 300 Queen Elizabeth Street in historic downtown Manteo, North Carolina. In addition to a gallery for established and emerging artists, we also offer workshops, classes and performances in the historic Dare County courthouse.

Just a few of our annual events include:

~ The Frank Stick Memorial Show

~ The Mollie Fearing Memorial Show

~ Artrageous Kids Art Festival

~ Rock The Cape

~ Surfalorus Film Festival

~ Holiday Small Works Show

Our gallery features original works of art in painting, photography, jewelry, fiber, metals, pottery and printmaking. Additionally, we offer prints, cards and collectibles.

DCAC is also home to the Art-O-Mat, a re-purposed cigarette machine now designed to dispense tiny, original works of art. Be sure to check it out when visiting.
Dare County Arts Council is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , custom trip planner Edition.

  • Great place to stop and see local artist art. And a beautiful old building, and they have restrooms.

  • This could be the best coastal arts council gallery shop that I've been to on the east coast. They have a great selection of local artists represented. The exterior courtyard is getting a modern, beautiful face-lift. I can't wait to see it lit up at night!
  • Wonderful gallery. Perfect stop on our visit to the area.
