Art from the Edge – Art Inspired by Jockey’s Ridge

April 17 – May 11, 2025
Jockey’s Ridge State Park Visitor Center

An art exhibition spotlighting the connection between art and nature. This unique event – the first ever at the park — will be located inside the Jockey’s Ridge State Park’s Visitor Center and will showcase artwork inspired by the park’s landscapes, wildlife, and its cultural significance on the Outer Banks.

All art will be for sale and a portion of the proceeds benefit Friends of Jockey’s Ridge. The mission of the Friends of Jockey’s Ridge is to support, protect, and promote Jockey’s Ridge as a significant geologic and cultural feature of the Outer Banks. The Friends group helped to fund over 400 educational programs at the park last year, supported facility updates, and continued to be a leader in the conversation about protecting and preserving Jockey’s Ridge. With this exhibition, the Friends of Jockey’s Ridge aims to deepen appreciation for Jockey’s Ridge and its vital role in preserving the natural heritage of the region through art and community participation.

The show will be open April 17th in the Community Room at the Jockey’s Ridge State Park Visitor Center and run through Mother’s Day, May 11th. Please come out and enjoy the artwork and the park!
