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.

Infinite Prgression
(June 5, 2026 - August 31, 2026)
A Separate Reality by Todd Breitling
Todd Breitling Infinite Progression
This new body of work marks a bold departure into uncharted territory, where texture, luminosity, and movement collide in a vivid sensory experience. Each painting emerges as a layered landscape of experimentation, built from an unconventional fusion of sand, glitter, modeling paste, collage, and fluid acrylics. Paint pens carve intricate gestures across the surface, while ink seeps and blooms unpredictably, creating moments of tension and release. Toothbrushes were used to grind the paint into uneven surfaces. The tactile interplay between coarse and smooth, matte and shimmer, invites the viewer to not only see but almost feel the energy embedded within each piece.
At the heart of the exhibition is an electrifying palette of bright fluorescent colors that pulse with intensity, evoking both raw emotion and playful spontaneity. These works celebrate risk and discovery—where control gives way to intuition, and structure dissolves into vibrant chaos. Light dances across the glittering surfaces, shifting with every angle, while layers of material create depth that rewards prolonged viewing. This collection is an immersive exploration of transformation, capturing a dynamic dialogue between materials, color, and the artist’s evolving creative voice.

Journey in Through
(June 5 2026 - August 31, 2026)
Dance of Alizarin Petals by Andrew Oresto
Andrew Oresto Journey in Through
"Journey in Through” is an artistic journal of my work. Art turns the inside out. Every brushstroke, every composition, is a story… even a simple still life radiates its own moment in time, and I do my best to express what it’s saying. I try to give things voice in my oil paintings… using abstract expression, surrealism (any “ism” at my disposal). What matters most is that the work speaks honestly about “our” moment in time being painted.
