Seaside Art Gallery — Nags Head’s Original Fine Art Destination

Gallery Overview

Seaside Art Gallery is a family owned & operated gallery only steps from the beach in the Gallery Row Arts District, Nags Head’s Fine Art Destination. The Smith family established it in 1961, making it the Outer Banks’ first art gallery.

Seaside Art Gallery is one of the largest privately-owned galleries in the Southeast. Its 12-roomfuls of original fine art include works by 19th - 21st century masters, famed animation art by Disney, Warner Brothers & Hanna Barbera, and locally and internationally known artists working across varying genre and media. The collection also encompasses antiques, sculptures, estate jewelry, and collector items.

Art shows take place at Seaside Art Gallery year round. Among them is the gallery’s renowned annual International Miniature Art Show, which is one of the largest miniature art shows in the nation. Current and upcoming art show information is available through the gallery’s website.

The gallery specializes in original works of art, not reproductions. The authenticity of the art is fully guaranteed. Inquiries are welcome!
