Creating, admiring (and buying!) art is a fun thing to do on Ocracoke. Islanders value the arts, and this is apparent in the number of art galleries around town, the arts programming in the school and in the inclusion of the arts in the local festivals and events. The local festivals always include art-related activities. And you can find some arts-oriented programming at other times of the year as well.
