In business for 24 years as a 501c3, we are an incubator with strong outreach programs to the community.
We bring Art to Life and Life to Art!
We are the largest, constant, physical art gallery in Carteret County and most likely the first “museum” experience very young members of our community have. Local artists collaborate improving their own art while learning about the art business.

Folly- Art for the Fun of it!!!!!
And the Winners are!!!!
Karen van Gamper as the Folly Director reports the notes from our Judge, as follows: Lou, from Arts and Things really took time and did an excellent job judging a complicated and complex group of entries in many different mediums. Her choice for First Place was Marguerite Juner for her watercolor "Net Gain". This was the beautiful mermaid in a gold frame. Next, she awarded Neil Stetson Second Place for his photograph "Floating Dock." I was really delighted that this unusual photograph was recognized. Lou chose Richard Von Hoorn's Assemblage "Man Smoking Pipe", certainly an unusual image, as Third place winner. Lorraine McElroy received an Honorable Mention for "Bloomin Folly". Her magnificent and complicated ceramic floral creation certainly deserved an award. And, finally, my own painting "Spirit Walker" received an Honorable Mention." Sincerely, Karen Van Gamper Thank you Lou arts-things.com
Please enjoy seeing all the Folly original artwork as follows on our website. All artwork can be purchased on line. Curbside pick up at the gallery can be arranged by appointment.

Treasure Hunt 1 July 26
5 & 6 year old Morehead City Parks and Recreation Summer Campers tour our gallery using our Treasure Hunt guide
Treasure Hunt is an age appropriate way for children to look around the gallery methodically by using the icon on the page to find the actual piece of art. Writing down the information on the label brings them closer to understanding that what they are looking at is actually made by someone.
Carolina Artists Gallery invites any group to go on this "Treasure Hunt" simply by calling the gallery to arrange a time.
