This “speed-dating” style meet-and-greet is a fast-paced, active way to introduce yourself and your portfolio to curators and cultural leaders in Wilmington. Artists have a chance to meet and mingle with your fellow artists as well as our guest curators.

Guest Curators:

Her specific knowledge and personal connection with the artists she represents show her passion for their work, careers, and vision. She splits her time between her home in Philadelphia and the gallery in Wilmington.
