Tips From The City of Wilmington on How To Art Loop

Step 1:

Review the many gallery options listed in the Art on the Town magazine and choose the openings you want to attend.

Step 2:

Map out your choices on the Art on the Town map found on pages 4 & 5 in the magazine.

Step 3:

Choose your method of transportation:

  • Choice A. The Art on the Town shuttle is a free service that picks passengers up at 5:45PM and returns by 8:45 PM. Choose between a Downtown or Trolley Square Shuttle. Each shuttle does only loop of the designated route, therefore the shuttles can only be picked at the pick-up location.
