Celebrate three decades of local creativity at the 30th Annual Arts by the Shore Art Exhibition and Sale, presented by the Oak Island Art Guild.
The much-anticipated exhibition will take place at the Homer E. Wright Event Center, 4136 Southport-Supply Road SE in St. James, on:

• Friday, October 30, from 1–5 pm
• Saturday, October 31, from 11am – 3 pm

Visitors are invited to enjoy wine and cheese while exploring and shopping an inspiring collection of original 2-D and 3-D artwork created by talented local artists. From paintings and mixed media to sculpture and other distinctive works, Arts by the Shore offers a vibrant opportunity to experience the artistic spirit of the coastal community—and to own a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The 2026 exhibition will be judged by Elise Stein, a professional painter, muralist, and art educator. Artists will be recognized for outstanding work in their respective categories during an awards ceremony beginning at 3pm on Saturday, October 31.

A Call for Artists is posted on oakislandartguild.org and will remain open until October 23, 2026 | 5pm.
