**UPDATE: THE AUCTION HAS BEEN MOVED TO MARCH 30TH**

The 10th Annual OPS Art Auction will be Saturday, March 30th from 5:00-7:00 PM! 👩‍🎨

LOCATION: Ocracoke Community Center

Every year, OPS hosts an art auction fundraiser with donated works from local artists as well as Ocracoke friends from far wide. The proceeds of the fundraiser go towards our General Fund, which helps us pay for our most needed projects.

OPS provides free 5" x 7" canvases to anyone who would like to participate in the auction. If you would like one, please contact us and we will mail it to you.

You may decorate the canvas as you see fit, but we do ask that you keep it related to Ocracoke in some way. Other works of art such as quilts, carvings, crocheted works, drawings on paper, etc. are all welcomed in the auction as well! 🪡🖌🖍

We can't wait to see you all there! 😁
