Artsy Octopus

Artsy Octopus is a collective gallery showcasing the work of more than 60 artists from North Carolina and Virginia. You'll find local paintings and photographs, stained glass, gourmet foods, gifts, jewelry, sea glass jewelry and more in their gallery on the Beach Road in Nags Head, close to Jennette's Pier. If you're looking for a fun activity, Artsy Octopus offers art classes and art parties, including resin art and resin-pouring, jewelry making and paint and sip. Kids love their pick-and-paint projects on canvas, ceramics or wood; these can be done in the gallery or you can take a kit home. Artsy Octopus also offers private art parties and custom surfboard painting.
