In Search of the Dragon

Calling all artists in all mediums except film or performance: oil, acrylic, watercolor, fiber, sculpture, paper, wood, metal, mixed media! Oriental, NC is a unique little village located on the Inner Coastal Waterway in NC and is home for many creatives including artists and artisans, musicians, authors, and thespians. Each year on New Year's Eve, two "dragons" (mysteriously sporting human legs and feet from below) parade through the town. The villagers and traditionally a few thousand visitors dance around and behind the creatures, banging pots and spoons to ward away evil spirits in the coming year. Others try and touch the dragon for good luck. Later, in February, coordinating with Chinese New Year, the Pamlico County Arts Council host their annual membership drive, known as The Burning of the Dragon. A literal torching of a 30 ft high rendition of the creature, set aflame to ensure nothing but creative and positive things happen in the coming year. Both of these events have become regional Coastal Carolina treasured events! Clearly, Oriental loves dragons! And we want to see yours! Exhibit runs Dec 26, 2021 - Feb 15, 2022 at ArtWorks Oriental. $35 entry fee. Deadline: Midnight Nov 30, 2021. More info. Contact: email or call 206-406-1621.
