Current Exhibition

“The Realistic Colors of Art,” an exhibition of drawings of public transportation by Wilmington artist Geraldo Gonzalez, will be on view in the Mezzanine Gallery from August 2-30, 2019. The artist will host a free opening reception on Friday, August 2, from 5-8 p.m. and a free closing reception on Friday, August 23, from 5-8 p.m.

Gonzalez is the recipient of a 2019 Individual Artist Fellowship in Folk Arts: Visual Arts. Gonzalez creates drawings that pulse with energy, spilling over with the excitement he feels about creating.

Working mostly with colored pencils and in watercolor, he creates Technicolor worlds brimming with buses, trains, trolleys and subway lines.

The Mezzanine Gallery, open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located on the second floor of the Carvel State Office Building, 820 N. French Street, Wilmington.
