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.

Amber Gold by Cyril Boyd
Artist Statement
The photographs on display were judged by a distinguished panel of judges who traveled virtually from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Hong Kong, India, Nova Scotia and all over the United States to judge over 2,580 digital and print images during our week-long judging. Their deliberations resulted in the selection of some outstanding images for awards and acceptances in our 88th Exhibition. The photographs entered in the competition represent the work of hundreds of top-quality photographers from over 30 countries around the world. The show is an annual event which has been held for 88 consecutive years and is hosted by the Delaware Photographic Society which was founded in 1931. The photographers range in age from 14 to 95 years old, and are mostly amateur through advanced enthusiast. We awarded 77 medals and 89 honorable mention ribbons. The prints on display are representative of the excellent prints submitted to this international exhibition.
Kinda Blue by Kathleen Spicer
Artist Statement
SHINY OBJECTS (Of Desire)
Three artists, working in very different mediums and styles, come together in a dazzling mélange that is sure to appeal to everyone. Kathleen Spicer, Anne Leith and Elynne Rosenfeld will feature plein air paintings composed in oil paint and gold and silver leaf, wall hung abstract sculptural works that combine wood, aluminum, plexiglass, oil paint, rust and various exposed hardwares, and richly complex floral paintings that combine acrylic paint with tempered glass, and beads.
This exhibit features three extremely different concepts and styles that work in seamless harmony. Although the works are beautiful (desirable) at first glance, they also offer a subtle grittiness, surface under the surface, and pull the viewer in to see the works in detail, wondering how they were created, and opening up questions as well as leaving room for individual interpretation. Stand close you see one thing, step back see another. The pieces are also affected by light, in bright light they appear one way, in subtle or darker light they are, again, different.
Aside from having some “SHINE” in common, all the works also have powerful living energy, with pulsing undercurrents. The works have rhythm and radiance, that will pair well with the lively energy of the Baby Grand!
