The Art of the Recipe: a salty foodART exhibition is an invitational art show featuring local artwork inspired by a curated collection of printed local recipes found in the cookbook collection of the Outer Banks History Center. Artists will offer their interpretation of a specific recipe in Pottery, Glass, Textiles, Photographs, Paintings, Metal, Wood, New Media and more. More than 30 highly accredited artists will be exhibited from March 22-30.

The show is curated by local food culturist Amy Gaw in celebration of her new book, Lost Restaurants of the Outer Banks with Their Recipes to be released by The History Press in May, 2019. This show is sponsored by Outer Banks History Center, Dare County Arts Council and Outer Banks SeaSalt. Produced in association with Outer Banks Restaurant Association’s Taste of the Beach.

Join us for the SALTY reception on Friday, March 22 from 4pm to 7pm. The reception is free and open to public and will feature delicious food, drinks and music. Local chefs and cooks will be on site to share TASTY samples of the recipes featured by fellow artists! A feast for all the senses. Hope to see you there!
