For a fun day near the water, visit the “Art by the Harbor” sidewalk art show at RiverDunes on June 27. It will feature the works of over 20 artists from Craven and Pamlico Counties, working in various media such as painting, sculpture, wood-carving, jewelry-making and more.  The show has my absolutely favorite price tag, FREE!

River Dunes, near Oriental, is just a lovely place to visit anyway, even if they weren’t offering a great art show. Visit the Idea House if you like to look at great decorating concepts, or just wander around and enjoy the beautiful homes built in North Carolina Low Country style, from adorable cottages all the way to stately Charleston style mansions.

The art show is from 10:00 to 3:00, and you can get more info at 252-249-0253.
