State of the Art Spotlight:

There's No Place Like Home!

Wish you were here!

We've noticed several works in State of the Art that beautifully feature sites from around our hometown of Wilmington. From Rita Bonillia Fash's work capturing Wilmington fav Jimbo's, to Christine E. Leahy's photograph Skipping 'round the Arlie Oak, to Richard Valeo's Day at the Beach, these works remind us of our beautiful surroundings.

State of the Art gives us all a window into what's going on in the artist community and for some artists it's given them a chance to capture the beauty of our hometown.

These are only a few examples, visit State of the Art this week and see them all!

"... a thunderous and ultimately beautiful statement affirming that all art is valid"
