Spread the word! There is a 2nd Opening Reception THIS Friday for the current gallery exhibit – come meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and explore the 53 piece art show from 8 local artists.

“It’s a Spring Thing” celebrates the return of color, light, and creative energy with work from local artists.

The gallery is open this Saturday, April 11th from Noon-2pm as well.

Artwork in this post is by participating artist Erika Gross.

Erika Gross, a native Wilmingtonian, holds a BFA with honors in painting and printmaking, spent her career as a leader in the arts nonprofit sector and has exhibited throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Her art career started at age 7 after winning a "Draw Your Mother" department store contest. Her mother was pictured with blue eyeshadow, red lipstick and long pointy nails. She won $250 in toys. Her mother did not look like that. She is thrilled to hang her work alongside artists she respects so highly and is grateful to Jester Art for making this show possible. @artoferikagross … See MoreSee Less
