Our Story

It's Amazingly Rewarding to Serve You Every Year

Seaside Art Gallery, painting by Suzanne MorrisFounded in 1961 by the Smith family, Seaside Art Gallery first opened its doors in Nags Head, North Carolina. It was mostly wild beaches with no stop lights and only a few buildings. Nags Head became a town that same year.

Today, Seaside Art Gallery represents the finest artists in North Carolina, the United States, and around the world. Paintings, animation art, etchings, sculptures, and the Old Masters are shown in a manner that allows each work to be viewed in a beautiful space with peaceful ambiance.
