Now in its 35th year, Dare County Arts Council programs and events are all run by volunteers who want to keep the arts alive in their community. Over the years hundreds of dedicated, hard-working individuals have volunteered their time and donated their resources to heighten interest in the arts by bringing a wide variety of arts activities and performances to residents of Dare County.

In the years since the establishment of the Dare County Arts Council, the group has sponsored several performances by North Carolina Symphony, Frank Holder Dance Group, Graciela Mime Theater, Shady Grove Band, Carolina Players, African American Dance Ensemble, Terrance Simien and the Mallet Playboys, and the New York Chinese Folk Dance Company, among many others.

The Dare County Arts Council has succeeded in establishing what has become the oldest and largest fine arts exhibition in Dare County, the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show.
