The BIC’s Art and Music on the Farm festival offers fine art and treasures from local artists, artisans, and traditional roots music played by celebrated musicians from across Virginia, all in an inviting, family-friendly setting. Whether you prefer to sip wine, peruse the eye-catching art, delve into the history of Virginia musical styles, watch your child have fun with an art activity, plan a fun summer garden, or eat some tasty food, you will find something to tickle your fancy. 

Please join us for a very special evening to Meet the Carvers! BIC will host 11 decoy carvers for a meet-and-greet reception (wine, beer, and heavy hors d’oeuvres) on September 27 from 4:00 –7:00 p.m. It will be held at the Cobb Island Coast Guard Station in Oyster. We’re thrilled to hold the event at such an extraordinary venue. This decommissioned station was moved off Cobb Island in the late 90s and lovingly restored to the gem it is today. It’s fitting to showcase excellent carvers in this stunning seaside property that provides plenty of space to mingle. Tickets are limited and are on sale now.

1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Tickets ($125) go on sale to members on January 2nd (757-678-5550)
and to the public on January 16th

The Oyster Roast is an opportunity to celebrate the bounty and beauty of this region. Local oyster houses generously manage the roasting and steaming of oysters and clams. The silent auction also showcases a broad spectrum of local talent, thanks to the local artisans, artists, restaurants, entrepreneurs, and other businesses who generously donate their lovingly-produced items. The proceeds help keep our doors open with free admission to all.
