Calling all artists!
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.

Rhythms of the Mind
(March 31, 2026 - April 27, 2026)
Burst of Becomming by David O.
David O. Rhythms of the Mind
David O. Unveils New Abstract Collection: Rhythms of the Mind The Grand Opera House proudly presents Rhythms of the Mind, a new solo exhibition by abstract artist David O., whose vibrant, layered compositions explore the fluctuating patterns of human thought. Drawing on his background in graphic design and decades of creative practice, David blends structure with spontaneity to reveal the unseen rhythms that shape our internal worlds. His work bursts with color, texture, and movement—inviting viewers into an immersive experience where thoughts become landscapes, impulses become forms, and emotion becomes motion. Rhythms of the Mind captures the full spectrum of mental energy: the explosive, the contemplative, the chaotic, and the harmonious. Each piece serves as a visual pulse—an abstract interpretation of the inner tempo that drives us all. The exhibition will run from April 10, 2026 - April 26, 2026, with an opening reception on April 10, 2026 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
My work is rooted in the belief that the mind never sits still. Every thought has a texture, every emotion has a color, and every internal shift has a rhythm of its own. With a background in graphic design and many years immersed in painting, I approach abstraction as a language—a way to translate the invisible pulse of inner life into vibrant visual form. My process is intuitive yet intentional. Layers of color, movement, and contrast emerge as I follow the ebb and flow of thought: moments of chaos, flashes of clarity, lingering echoes, and sudden bursts of inspiration. What lands on the canvas is not a single idea, but the collision of many—overlapping rhythms that mirror how we actually think, feel, and process the world. These works invite the viewer to slow down and tune into their own inner cadence. To recognize the familiar swirl of complexity. To find stillness inside the movement. And to let the mind reveal its own beautifully unpredictable patterns.

Spring by Deborah L. Cuomo
Deborah L. Cuomo Spring”
My name is Deborah Cuomo and I’m a Quaker artist and Delaware native. When I was a child, the only reading material in our home was; a set of encyclopedias, a Bible, and the National Geographic magazine. My parents believed in non-violence, simplicity and adult baptism. The National Geographic gave us insight and understanding of many different cultures from around the world. This has led me to embrace diversity with gusto! Excelsior!
