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.

Yakime Akelá Brown “Status Quo?”
On Friday, November 1, 2024, at 5:00 PM Art Loop veteran and contemporary abstract artist Yakime Akelá Brown returns to the baby grand Gallery of Wilmington's historic Grand Opera House for an exciting new exhibit entitled “Status Quo?”
In this new exhibit Yakime is intent on defying convention and continues undaunted in his exploration of diverse mediums and artistic approaches. In an art world that frowns upon those who dare to step outside of the box others have placed them in, Yakime has opted to reach beyond what is perceived to be a consistent and identifiable style and/or image.
Never one to be forced into a corner, Yakime refuses to mindlessly churn out paintings simply for the sake of filling up wall space or to meet someone else expectations. Like his artistic heroes that came before him, Yakime is very passionate about being able to express himself in whatever medium that suits the moment and circumstance. While this show will indeed feature familiar themes of color and texture, it will also highlight his desire to introduce his audience to new possibilities and visual stimuli.
