The Ocracoke Museum hosts art exhibits by local & North Carolina artists. Photographs, paintings, and carvings are featured in these shows, which open to the accompaniment of music, flowers, refreshments and a chance to meet the artists. These openings receive support from the Beaufort County Arts Council who is funded through the NC Arts Council, an agency funded by the State of North Carolina, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
