Get your artwork in front of adoring eyes by hosting your own art exhibit and reception at The Grand.
We are actively seeking artists to exhibit their work for the coming year in both galleries. Along with the opportunity to show your work for a month, artists will take part in the City of Wilmington’s Art On the Town, also known as “Art Loop,” on first Fridays. All shows will be listed in Out & About Magazine, distributed to local businesses and galleries, and on the Art Loop and The Grand’s websites.
Not only will you be getting exposure and potential sales for your work, but you will be giving enrichment and enjoyment to patrons, performing artists, staff, and other visitors.

Marmalade's Flood Story by Diane Lane
Marmalad’s Flood Story – Art in Miniature
Many beloved toys are lost in floods and hurricanes. This show tells Marmalade's true flood story. Stuffies can't talk, swim or call for help...but things unfold. Surprise! Lost toys can be found and go on to have adventures. How wonderful for a child to imagine their lost toy is found and not in debris and ruin! Marmalade's miniature art dioramas were used to illustrate the book, "Marmalade: The Rain, The Flood, The Rescue."
The artist and writer, Diane Lane, is a self-taught watercolor artist who has been taking classes and making artsy messes and creating stories for many years. She's painted in France and Italy and works in paper art and miniatures. As a writer, she is a member of the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild, and has written and published three books, "I Loved Her Enough," "Marmalade: The Rain, The Flood, The Rescue," and her newest book, "Moon uy,", illustrated in her watercolors.
While very different, all three books share a common thread; they are based on true events that readers find touching and memorable.
#801 by Stacey Hendrix
Step into a vibrant world of color and imagination in this exhibit featuring the abstract and expressionistic works of local artist Stacey Hendrix. Known for her dynamic use of texture and bold contrasts, Hendrix creates a visual experience where emotion meets fantasy. Her paintings invite viewers to explore dreamlike spaces, where shifting forms and layered hues suggest stories both personal and mythical. This collection celebrates the power of color to evoke memory, mood, and the unseen.
With this show, Lost and Found, I showcase a collection of abstract and expressionistic paintings that mark a personal and artistic journey rooted in transformation, memory, and intuition. Working primarily in acrylic, I expressed various moods through bold color, tactile texture, and high contrast. This body of work is the culmination of five years of relentless exploration and emotional honesty. I watched my mother make a life out of art, animals, nature, and momming. As a child, the line between real and imagined often blurred. Now, with the freedom of age and the clarity of education, I embrace that ambiguity. My work speaks where words fall short— because there is always a story waiting behind every void. My goal in the end is to make something beautiful out of chaos. I’m so delighted to share this body of work with the community. My deep gratitude goes to Eo Omwake, master painting instructor, whose guidance has shaped both my technique and voice.
