Beyond Pea Island Exhibition
Advertisement
From November to December, our Courtroom Gallery will feature over 30 commissioned pieces from the private collection of descendent, historian, and researcher Joan Collins.
Each piece in the exhibit tells part of the story behind the life of Collins' father Herbert M. Collins, who was the last surfman at the historic Pea Island station, and the Collins family's history on Roanoke Island.
Commissioned artwork by the late John de la Vega, Jasmin Miller, and Jas Jeffress will be part of the exhibit alongside other treasured family pieces. The collection will include works in charcoal, oils, acrylics, photography, and collage.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, November 6 from 6pm to 8pm, where visitors can meet Joan Collins and discuss the artwork and her family's history with her. The reception is free and open to everyone.
Beyond Pea Island will be on display November 7- December 19, 2026 in our Courtroom Gallery.
Beginning with the legacy of Lt. Herbert M. Collins, Beyond Pea Island brings overlooked stories into view through art, history, and the voices of those who carry us forward.
