39th Annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show Award Recipients Announced
Over 300 people poured into the Dare
County Arts Council Gallery on the
evening of Saturday, January 28 for the
opening reception of the 39th Annual
Frank Stick Memorial Art Show.
Ceramic artist and long-term resident artist at Pocosin
Arts in Columbia, North Carolina Ben Jordan and a panel
of judges from The Beach Book carefully selected the
following award winners:
Eure Best in Show: Torin Francis “Pounders Beach, Oahu”
(graphite/watercolor)
Excellence Awards: Marlene True “A Good Day” (steel/
enamel), Travis Fowler “Untitled” (brass leaf on wood panel),
and Brad Price “Best in Show” (oil on canvas)
Honorable Mention: Carole Thompson “It’s All About The
Plaid” (acrylic)
Beach Book Cover Excellence Award: Mary Edwards “Old
Nags Head Pier” (watercolor)
Beach Book Restaurant Guide Cover Honorable Mention:
Bobby Wiltshire “Wanchese Westside” (watercolor)
Beach Book Explorer Cover Honorable Mention: Rick
Cocke “Snoopy” (acrylic)
People’s Choice Award: Laine Edwards “Keep Fighting”
(acrylic and spray paint on glass)
This year was the fi rst time The Frank Stick Memorial Art
Show was held at DCAC’s Gallery in Downtown Manteo.
To honor Glenn and Pat Eure for their many years of hosting
the show at Glenn Eure’s Ghost Fleet Gallery, DCAC
named the Eure Best In Show award after them.
“Receiving the Eure Best in Show award encourages me
to continue to use the gift that I’ve been given. I am so
happy to see my work appreciated by others,” said Eure
Best In Show award recipient Torin Francis. “It didn’t take
much thought before I decided I wanted to paint “Pounders
Beach.” The mountains, the rocks, and the waves that
break there are so beautiful to me.”
For the third year in a row artist Laine Edwards received
the People’s Choice award, which was selected by public
ballot during the opening reception.
“There’s really no one word that can describe the feeling
generated when refl ecting on a community coming out to
support the arts and the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show,”
said People’s Choice award recipient Laine Edwards. “I
feel honored and humbled. I have entered paintings of
public fi gures that I feel connected to each year. Bernie
Sanders is such an inspiration to me. I strongly supported
his campaign for President, and started painting him the
day before the inauguration as a way to keep my mind off
of what was happening. I feel better when I am creative.”
The annual show is held in memory of Outer Banks
preservationist and artist Frank Stick, and is the longest
running visual arts exhibit in Dare County. The Frank Stick
Memorial Art Show will remain on display at the DCAC
Gallery through Saturday, February 25.
A special thank you to Sam and Cindy McGann from The
Blue Point in Duck for providing delicious hors d’oeuvres at
the opening reception.
This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts
Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural
Resources.
