When Chris Sawin at Dare County Arts Council contacted us about curating an exhibit for September 2020 we were over the moon! This was a real dream come true!
As an artsy kid growing up on the Outer Banks it was a dream of mine to one day have my art on display in the historic downtown Manteo courthouse (home of the Dare County Arts Council). What better way to manifest that dream than to share it with the girls of OuterBabes and the most talented local artist I know.
This exhibit celebrates the East Coast surf culture and showcases OuterBabes art along with other local artists and surfers.
Artist list: Bri Young, Kristen Burritt, Willow Rea, Taylor Williams, Mike Leech, Ally Carras, Reddawn, Brad Vuyovich, Saylor Vuyovich, Violet Vuyovich, Adelia Vuyovich, Hazel Vuyovich, Hattie Vuyovich, Meg Rubino, Sophie Castellanos, Hannah Wallace Lackore, Ava Nultemeier, Charlotte Nultemeier, Chloe Wienert, Eva Klauser, Ivy Cage, Tatum Dermatas, Mike Rowe, Josh Peterson, Sam Sykes, Ashley Linnekin, Matty Hitchcock
"We are a community of surfers and artists, young girls and women knit together by our love for the ocean and the freedom of riding waves. We are radically elegant; Flowing through life powerfully, joyfully, unafraid. We are the women of the Outer Banks. ”
