Art, Photos and Outtakes from 35 Issues of Outer Banks Milepost

​

For decades, the Outer Banks has been a dynamic hotbed of creative genius. Painters who depict watery shores in running color. Glassblowers pulling sculpture from glowing fires. Photographers who can capture the natural chaos of a raging storm — or carefully stage a portrait that yields the most powerful emotions. Since Issue 0.1, Milepost has tapped the full range of local talents — and their various muses — to fully reflect the vibrancy of local life.

In March, “Stuck Here On Purpose” will assemble the most noteworthy examples from 35 issues, including original renditions of commissioned art-pieces, large-scale reproductions of memorable photographs, and unseen images from a host of complex — and occasionally hilarious — photoshoots. Add a few fresh works by the profiled artists, plus an array of random, oddball objects and inside jokes, this month-long exhibit puts you inside the process that makes the mag — and salutes the people and the place that inspire every page.
