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.

Water Lilies by Julianne M. Long
Longview Gardens
Everyone has a favorite flower. Mine changes as the garden emerges each spring from its winter’s sleep. Although frost can paint some beautiful patterns, it is Spring that calls me to paint. As each bulb pushes shoots towards the sunshine, I begin to paint. Sometimes I paint outside, but more often, I grab my phone and snap images quickly so I can capture the shifting light and shadows falling across the garden. As you can imagine, I have a backlog of hundreds of such pictures awaiting transformation.
My paintings are more romantic rather than realistic. I once saw a quote attributed to Claude Monet. He said, “Flowers taught me to paint.” Those words have helped me focus on the colors and forms that I love and simply let them teach me. With this exhibit of my work, I invite you to immerse yourself in the garden. Maybe your inner artist will call you to pick up a brush and get painting. Enjoy!
