We feature a variety of work from local and regionally known artists at the Wilson Arts Center, rotating work approximately every two months with opening receptions held on Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Visiting artist lectures take place at 5:30 p.m.  All gallery exhibits and artist receptions are free and open to the public!

CHANGES TO GALLERY GIFT SHOP

As we prepare for the exciting renovations planned for the Wilson Arts Center's MakerSpace, we are reworking—and sometimes reimagining—some of our existing spaces. Our beloved gallery gift shop has been relocated closer to the reception desk and reconfigured with a smaller footprint. This change makes the shop easier to maintain and expands our gallery exhibition space, allowing us to showcase art better.

With this update, the gift shop is more flexible to rotate items in sync with each exhibition change, offering fresh inventory throughout the year. While we will continue to feature many of your favorite artists and popular items, this new approach creates opportunities to introduce exciting new pieces with every gallery opening.
