This October, Arts of the Pamlico brings together two distinct exhibitions celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty that surrounds us in Eastern North Carolina.
Discover the artistry of quilting through an exhibition that highlights the skill, imagination, and tradition found in this remarkable art form. Visitors are invited to enjoy the colors, patterns, textures, and stories expressed through quilts on display.
Please note: The Quilters Exhibit is a separate exhibition and is not part of the Call to Artists.
Artists are invited to submit work for the Wildlife & Waterways Art Exhibit, an exhibition inspired by the wildlife, rivers, creeks, wetlands, sounds, and coastal landscapes that help define our region.
From quiet encounters with wildlife to artistic interpretations of the waterways that connect our communities, this exhibition offers artists an opportunity to share their perspective on the natural world.
Submission Deadline: September 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM
Artwork Drop-Off / Load-In: September 30, 2026 at 11:00 AM
