| Features an eclectic mix of local art. On display at the Gallery at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Held in memory of Mollie Fearing, one of the founders of the root organization from which DCAC arose. In 1975 a group of Dare county residents met at the home of Mollie Fearing where they set about founding an organization that would introduce thousands of school children and adults to music, dance, theatre, painting, sculpture, poetry and literature. The organization would initially be called the Sea and Sounds Arts Council and later, the Dare County Arts Council. Mollie Fearing was elected president of the Arts Council in 1975 and was a vital supporter and advocate of the arts until the time of her death on September 3, 1997. Mollie's contributions to the community were numerous, from serving as mayor for the Town of Manteo, to serving on the board of the Roanoke Island Historical Association, to her dedication to the arts. Mollie's legacy in our community remains strong to this day. Open to members and residents. Cash awards. Drop off and pick up dates for artwork will be announced at a later date. Opening Reception: Sunday, May 4, 2008 4-6 p.m. Please log on to darearts.org or call 252-473-5558 for more information. |

Yet all the extravagant riches he collects leave him feeling empty, until he meets a plain brown nightingale whose simple, lyrical song strikes a silent chord deep inside his heart.

Comprised of people from around the world, it is starting to thrive. And now the new "global community" is about to make history. Studio Broadcast Mars is bustling with excitement. Built into the side of the volcano Olympus Mons, this studio chronicles Mars' scientific and artistic culture. Today, for the very first time, the studio will offer Earth a chance to see what life is like on the Red Planet. Pete Flick, head broadcaster, has been working with his friends to create a fantastic transmission. They’ve put together a program focusing on the people who have made life on Mars a reality. In addition to illustrating the challenges of adapting to an unfamiliar environment, the broadcast will feature live music by the Martian colony’s first band and a comedy about the adventures and misadventures of a Martian child. At first, everything in the broadcast proceeds as planned -- but then something goes terribly wrong. Despite the mishap, Pete is determined that the show must go on. Using the skills and talents of his friends, Pete thinks on his feet, looking back into Earth’s broadcast history to discover a creative way to make this first Red Planet broadcast a roaring success.

A third series of jellyfish paintings features his epoxy resin acrylic layering technique. It is a multi-level process that yields lustrous works with rich depth. His sculptures are created using laser cut steel that he airbrushes to add color. He creates abstract sculptures and usable furniture from the steel that also can include bamboo, glass and granite. Snyder is a well known muralist on the Outer Banks who has been painting murals here since the late 1970’s.He is an avid surfer and the father of Noah Snyder a professional surfer. Snyder’s work is big and beautiful. He is a master with the airbrush and appreciates capturing a real quality of the sea in his work. While he is a marvelous technician, his art also has a message. It chronicles humankind’s relationship to the sea. People passionate about the coast will be thrilled with this exhibition.
