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.

This exhibit represents a variety of views, giving artists an opportunity to share their vision and ideas with others.
Description of the Howard Pyle Studio Group
The Howard Pyle Studio galleries of the members’ artwork are open to the public during the 1st Fridays for the Wilmington Art Loop nights and by appointment for tours.
The members of the Studio Group are deeply dedicated to maintaining and preserving this great legacy that Howard Pyle and his students created. Since 1950, members of Studio Group, Inc. have enjoyed the advantages of this well-designed studio that offers painters, with its ample spaces, large skylights, and unique architecture.
Just off the sidewalk on North Franklin Street, between Pennsylvania and Delaware Avenues, is the Howard Pyle Studio.
It continues to serve its original purpose as a working studio and source of instruction for artists.
At the turn of the century, Howard Pyle was one of the most popular illustrators in America. When he opened his school in the Franklin Street studio in 1900, he attracted a group of young, eager-to-learn artists such as NC Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, and Frank Schoonover who thrived under Pyle’s teaching and whose collective talent illuminated the “Golden Age of Illustration”. Over time, Pyle, his many successful students and their descendants became known as the Brandywine School.
