The 'Road Less Traveled' is a good poetic description of those living on remote Ocracoke Island. Artist Sonya Allen's path diverged to this idyllic beach and she opened up Art Ocracoke Gallery. She depicts the special qualities of village life in vivid colorful paintings of locals, beach animals, and landscapes. Her passion for the unique qualities of the outer banks and lifelong fascination with the natural world is shown in every perfectly placed paint stroke. She works in acrylics, oils, airbrush and digital art. Sonya Allen sells original paintings, prints, and other art stuff from her store on Creek Road near the Ocracoke lighthouse.

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
