In celebration of the nationally recognized Pride Month, Dare Arts is proud to announce a call for entry for their second exhibit highlighting work by queer artists in June.

Outside Straight Lines- A Visual Arts Exhibition Featuring Queer Artists will showcase a variety of media including, but not limited to, paintings, jewelry, fiber art, ceramics, photography, and drawings by local and regional artists who self-identify within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ+) community.

Artists wishing to participate in this inclusive exhibition can find the prospectus and sign up for a specific time to drop off their work online at DareArts.org/outsidestraightlines.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, June 7 from 6pm to 8pm at Dare Arts Gallery, where visitors can meet the artists and view their work. The reception is free and open to all and is during First Friday in downtown Manteo.
Outside Straight Lines will be open for viewing in the Courtroom Gallery during normal gallery hours June 8-29.
During June First Friday, Dare Arts will have seven-piece band The Storyweavers playing Americana folk music in The Courtyard from 6pm to 8pm. The evening will conclude with a lively hoop dancing by Summer Spins followed by a spectacular fire performance by Panda Daniels.
Beginning on June 1 there will be other performing and literary art events throughout the month of June. All of these events are a part of Dare Arts’ programming initiative, The Dare Arts Pride Project. More information on these events will be available soon.
