Hidden Outer Banks is a fresh online magazine for discovering what’s best about the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Featuring insider info from the best local sources, articles, photos, videos and links that all tell a story about these beautiful barrier islands. Hidden Outer Banks is a place to get turned on to the local art and music scenes, share insider information, keep up with current events, enjoy off-beat tidbits, a smidge of history and the occasional piece of pirate lore.
We post fresh info regularly, and have a really busy facebook page, so check back when you want to get caught up!
Inspired by a lifelong love of the OBX (with a nod towards preservation and sustainability), Hidden Outer Banks seeks to remind locals and visitors alike to look a little deeper and explore the rich history and local color that exists beyond the bright shiny lights of the Bypass.

The Historic Jarvisburg Colored School in Currituck County recently received funding from the *North Carolina Humanities Council and *Pratt Institute in New York to collaborate with Lisa Bateman, artist and NC native, to begin phase one of the art and community engagement project Songlines this summer 2019.
‘Songlines’ is an audio artwork using historic folksongs inspired by alumni of the School. Phase one of the project will record local songs ‘sung’ by alumni descendants and local Currituck children in May-June 2019.
